A rain barrel is a water tank positioned at a downspout to collect water and used to water plants or attach to a soaking hose to water a garden. Rain barrels are not meant to be used for drinking water. There is a fee of $20 to purchase the barrel, which is subsidized by the Critical Area Mitigation fund. If you are interested in obtaining a rain barrel, contact Ocean City Environmental Engineer Gail Blazer at 410-289-8825 or email gblazer@oceancitymd.gov.
Deadline for application is June 27.

If water is a relatively scarce commodity, it's not a waste of money. We can argue whether or not the government should subsidize it or not, but it's definitely not a waste of money.
Would you prefer that Ocean City enact a ban on watering lawns?
This kind of nonsense makes me sick. These barrels are an eyesore and a mosquito trap. Also the Critical Area group is just like the secret police. If you own land on or near the water you have NO rights to do what you would like...they can even tell you what kind of tree to plant on it. A bunch of enviros on a power and control trip!
uuuhhh what rain ???
