rain barrel  The Benefits of Rain Barrels

Water conservation is a concern for many areas and using a rain barrel is a good first step.  Using water captured in a rain barrel reduces the amount used from a municipal source, therefore, also reducing your water bill.  Rain Barrels also catch water that would otherwise run off into creeks and storm systems.  Rainwater is good for houseplants, flowers and gardens because it is free from the chemical additives in tap water.
