Yard & Garden
Using rainwater instead of the municipal water supply to water plants is an effective method of reducing summer water use. Rain barrels are used to collect and store rainwater from a building’s roof for later use. The stored rainwater can be used to water flower gardens and trees during dry periods.
The City of White Bear Lake and many other communities depend on groundwater for their drinking water supply. Increasing demands on the water supply makes groundwater conservation and management a top priority. Reducing water use is critical for protecting the sustainability of the groundwater supply in the future.
Yard waste includes leaves, brush, grass clippings, and other plant material. State law prohibits the disposal of yard waste such as leaves, branches, weeds, and grass clippings in the trash.
