Why Use a Rain Barrel?
Rain Barrels connect to your downspout, decreasing the amount of rain that runs off your property. Why is that important? Reduced runoff helps prevent water pollution and flooding. Every time it rains, unabsorbed water rushes to strom drains and directly to local waterways. This water carries with it pollutants such as pet waste, automotive fluids and fertilizer.
Installing a rain barrel benefits the environment and you. The water saved in rain barrels can be used for watering flowers, gardens and lawns all through the summer, even in time sof drought. Reduced water demand will lower your use of municipal water supplies, saving your money!
