The Town of Mooresville Stormwater Department will host a special presentation and activity at the library to teach Mooresville's youngest residents about the importance of keeping our waterbodies clean and safe for all!

Installing a rain barrel is one of the easiest ways to reduce your water footprint and help recharge our rivers, lakes, and aquifers. Carolina Beverage Group is sponsoring this workshop and providing a free rain barrel to those who register. Join the Town of Mooresville Stormwater Division to learn how to assemble your rain barrel and the benefits of having a rain barrel to collect stormwater.
