Record Flooding & Drought – How Rain Barrels Can Help
CONSERVING WATER
During severe drought, rain barrels can provide an additional source of water. Rain barrels have the ability to save the average homeowner 1300 gallons of water annually. Using the rain barrel’s stored water around the landscape saves water resources and reduces the amount of water purchased from municipal sources.
Rain water is “soft,” or free from minerals and chemicals such as chlorine, fluoride, and calcium often present in municipal water. Rainwater is considered ideal for watering plants or washing windows.
