Arlington Water Utilities and other community organizations will come together from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026, at River Legacy Nature Center for the W.A.T.E.R. (Water Awareness Through Education & Recreation) Festival. River Legacy Nature Center holds the free event each year as \u201ca celebration of one of our most vital resources: water.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis family-friendly event is packed with educational activities, crafts, demonstrations, all highlighting the importance of water conservation,\u201d according to River Legacy Nature Center, which is located at 703 NW Green Oaks Blvd. in North Arlington.<\/p>\n

As part of WATER Festival events, Arlington Water Utilities and Tarrant Regional Water District are co-sponsoring a DIY Rainwater Harvesting class at 1 p.m., Sept. 12 at River Legacy Nature Center. The class will cover:<\/p>\n


\nHow much water your roof will produce in a year
\nWhere to put your rain barrel to capture the most water
\nHow to install a barrel
\nHow to hook up and use your new water source <\/p>\n

The cost of the workshop is $25 for Tarrant County residents, and participants will go home with a new rain barrel!<\/p>\n
