Abstract

The City of Urbana and the City of Champaign partnered with Faith in Place to organize a Rain Barrel & Compost Bin Truckload Sale in 2017. The sale was open to all, and residents of Urbana and Champaign could purchase at a discounted rate with proof of residency in accordance with each city's stormwater utility fee rebate scheme. An online survey was created to gather information on where and how the rain barrels were used, were they installed and used, what motivated people to purchase them, etc. This report details the results of the survey, and brings in additional data sets as needed to provide further context and insight.
