Rain harvesting during El Nio
Looking to bank on El Nio this year? Several Central Coast cities are helping you do just that in a unique way.
Starting in Capitola, the city is offering property owners, residents, and businesses discounted rain barrels. City council reduced the original $70 price tag to $50.
Those interested need to order the rain barrels by Dec. 6 for pick up at Capitola City Hall on Saturday, Dec. 12.
