The town of North Reading is offering these 60-gallon polyethylene rain barrels, manufactured from recycled shipping barrels used to import olives The rain barrels are forest green in color, and come complete with an overflow fitting, drain plug, screw-on cover, and a threaded spigot. The spigot may be attached at the base or part way up the barrel (for use with a watering can).
Diverters that may be cut into a gutter downspout are also available from the Water Department. The diverter can be opened to send the water into the rain barrel or closed to allow the downspout to function as usual.
