Wakefield

Wakefield is a leader among the many communities in Massachusetts  that are  advocating conservation and smart water practices by offering discounted rain barrel to residents. The Town strongly encourages the use of rain barrels as part of its town-wide water conservation initiative. Collected rain water helps during times of drought and aids in controlling runoff during heavy rains.  It can be used for watering gardens,  washing cars, and many other non-potable purposes. Using rainwater reduces overall water demand. This is especially valuable in times of drought and restrictions due to contamination. When rain arrives in torrents, diverting some into rain barrels helps slow down runoff and limits erosion. And because rainwater isn’t chlorinated, it’s great for plants and lawns. Scroll down to find out how to purchase your discounted rain barrel, help your community manage its water supplies,  minimize storm water runoff   and start saving money on your water bill.

 

Wakefield is offering an additional $20 off  for the first 120 barrels sold. This offer is for Wakefield residents only. If you are a Wakefield resident, use the coupon WAK24, Terms apply.

.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. If color is important please select  either painted Nantucket Gray or Earth Brown (almost black.) Currently we do not have any gray barrels available, this may change at the  distribution.

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.

  • You install the spigot into the barrel so you do not need to indicate which port you intend to use.
