Rain Barrels Help You Save Money and Conserve Water
Rain barrels collect and store rainwater for outdoor water use which means you’ll save money on your water bill.
In New England, rain barrels can save up to 1700 gallons of water during extended summer months.
Rain barrels reduce pollutants from entering into the water supplies by reducing runoff – which helps towns manage the water supplies and keep costs down.
Rain barrels are low cost and easy to install.
