A workshop to encourage DeKalb County residents to use rain barrels will be held Saturday at the Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve on Klondike Road near Lithonia.

The county Watershed Management department will host the event, which will help residents make their own barrels. The barrels collect rainwater to help conserve water and reduce water bills.

Cost is $30 and includes all materials needed to make a rain barrel. The workshop is limited to 15 people, with registration ending Wednesday .
