The town of Littleton is offering a Rain Barrel Program to help residents conserve water and save money.
Rain barrels collect and store rain water for outdoor water use, allowing homeowners to save on water bills, and provide a water source during summer watering restrictions. In New England, rain barrels can save as much as 1,700 gallons of water during the extended summer months. Rain barrels are low cost and easy to install.
The rain barrel is repurposed from a 60 gallon shipping drum. A drum is 39" tall by 24" wide, 20 lbs. empty. The shipping drum is made from 3/16" polyethylene which is UV protected and BPA free. The barrel comes complete with overflow fittings, drain plug, screw on cover, and a threaded spigot with a choice of two ports to use with either a watering can or a garden hose. The rain barrel arrives with simple instructions for fast and easy installation.
Littleton is offering the Great American Rain Barrel in three colors; Forest Green, Earth Brown or Nantucket Gray at the low cost of $79 versus the retail price of $119. To take advantage of this community program discount please click here or call (800)251-2352.
