Whereas, water is a valuable, limited natural resource; and
Whereas, municipal and rural residents in Kendall County depend on water for numerous home and commercial uses; and
Whereas, conserving and protecting water supplies is of benefit to all residents of Kendall County; and
Whereas, many residents are interested in methods to personally practice conservation of this valuable resource; and
Whereas, for every 100 square foot of roof area, one inch of rain generates approximately 60 gallons of rainwater runoff; and
Whereas, wasteful runoff of rainwater from homes and other buildings into storm sewers or other drainage ways can add to the damaging and overwhelming stormwater volumes in our natural waterways; and
Whereas, collecting rainwater is one type of best management practice to reduce stormwater runoff; and by redirecting and collecting rainwater runoff from buildings, it can be available for more productive, cost-efficient uses; and
Whereas, rain barrels are an economical, convenient method of collecting rainwater runoff for future uses; and
Whereas, The Conservation Foundation (TCF), in cooperation with local communities, such as Kendall County, promote the reduction of off-site stormwater runoff and best management practices to redirect and conserve rainwater; and
Whereas, TCF and Kendall County encourage homeowners and businesses to implement methods such as rain barrels to capture and efficiently use rainwater; and
Whereas, Kendall County endorses such best management practices to help protect our local water resources and wishes to promote the use of such practices to its residents;
Be it Hereby Resolved, the Kendall County Board proclaims the month of May, 2017 as Rain Barrel Promotion month in Kendall County.
Passed and adopted on this 5th day of April, 2017.
