Rain barrels available at cost from The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District

MAKE RAIN BARRELS A PART OF YOUR YARD

The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago is helping residents get rain barrels at cost to capture rainwater from roofs and save it for when needed.

You can use rain barrel water to wash your car, water your lawn, or clean work boots and tools. Some gardeners swear their plants prefer it.

Barrels are made with 50-75% recycled content. All barrels come in four colors (black, blue, terra cotta and gray) and include leaf and mosquito filter screen, spigot/tap, overflow adaptor and overflow hose.

If you’re a Cook County resident, you can purchase a rain barrel for $45.78. This price includes a flexible connecting elbow to attach your barrel to your downspout, a linking hose to connect it to a second barrel, detailed instructions, and free delivery to your home.
