Help Save The Environment,
Use A Rain Barrel.
Lincoln Land Conservation Trust and Rural Land Foundation and Lincoln Conservation Department are partnering with The Great American Rain Barrel Co to offer discounted rain barrels to their residents. The foundation encourages the use of rain barrels as part of a water conservation program. Rainwater can be used for watering gardens, lawns, washing cars, and many other non-potable purposes. Rainwater is not chlorinated, so it is great for plants and lawns. Whether you get your water from municipal water supply or private well, using rainwater reduces water demand. Collected rain water helps during times of drought and aids in controlling runoff during heavy rains. This is especially valuable in times of drought. When rain arrives in torrents, diverting some into rain barrels helps to slow runoff and limits erosion.
Barrels ship with spigot, plugs, screen, lid overflow valves, flex tube and instructions inside the barrel. The only additional accessories you may want to consider are the Diverter and the Polished River Stones.
All barrels are repurposed and will have markings. Special Note about Color of the Unpainted Rain Barrel: Barrels come in black or gray, we cannot guarantee which color will be available at time of distribution.
