WHY RAIN BARRELS ?
Rain barrels are an excellent way to help the environment in urban areas because they reduce storm-water runoff which can carry pollutants and sediment directly to creeks and rivers. The barrels also save you money and precious groundwater supplies. The free stored rain water that is naturally soft and free of chlorine is great for use in gardens, houseplants, lawns and trees.
