Rain barrel gutter diverter
Anna found this gutter diverter in
action at Fairview last week.
Assuming the diverter is at the same elevation as the top of the rain barrel, it should do away with the need for an overflow pipe.

Will it flow enough?
Will the small hose allow it to fill enough? In Michigan, many of our rains are short downbursts, and I would worry that the barrel wouldn't fill all the way.
