Rain Barrels are back! SLC Public Utilities customers have the option to order rain barrels online. Make sure to have your SLCDPU account number available when you place your order.
To purchase rain barrels, you must live within the Salt Lake City Public Utilities’ service area, which includes Salt Lake City, Millcreek, Holladay, and Cottonwood Heights. You will need your SLCDPU Account Number to purchase a barrel (it can be found on your water bill).
Barrels are for capturing rainwater for use in landscapes and should NOT be used to store drinking water.
