Discounted rain barrels for Berkshire residents12:59PM / Friday, April 17, 2009
LEE, Mass. - The Town of Lee Recycling Committee is pleased to announce that in conjunction with the Lenox Environmental Committee and The Stockbridge Green Team they are able to provide New England Rain Barrels to Berkshire residents at the discounted price of $72.95, $47 off the retail price of $119.95. The organizations have teamed up with The New England Rain Barrel Company to offer these rain barrels to help residents conserve water, save money and reduce storm water run-off. These barrels are available to all Berkshire residents.
The average homeowner uses approximately 40% of water for outdoor use. A one inch rainfall on a 1,200 square foot roof will yield over 700 gallons of water. Using a rain barrel is an excellent way to conserve some of this water. A quarter inch run-off from an average roof will easily fill the barrel. If you have 5 storms a season, that equals 275 gallons of free water. Rain barrel use reduces the stress on municipal water systems during the summer months and improves storm water management.
The rain barrels are made from 55 gallon blue plastic recycled containers. The top does not come off, so no children or pets can get in the barrel. It has a six inch diameter inlet opening covered with a screened louver to keep insects and debris out. The barrels have 2 brass spigots; one to allow you to connect a hose for watering, and one for overflow. You can connect a hose to the overflow spigot and redirect the water away from your home. It even comes with a 5 foot hose with a shutoff valve. You can join multiple barrels for additional capacity.
Orders may be placed through May 21. Rain barrel pick-up day is Saturday May 30 at the Tri-Town Health Dept. Parking Lot, 44 Railroad Street, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. To order a rain barrel or for further information, call The New England Rain Barrel Company at 877-977-3135 or order online at www.nerainbarrel.com. |
