Solution to a Water Related Problem

Many people do not realize exactly how much clean water you waste by watering your lawn. It is one of the highest uses of water in Rhode Island!! Rain water is not necessarily clean enough to drink right when in comes from the sky, but it is perfect for watering lawns. In fact this is one of rain’s natural purposes already. So instead of tapping into your ground water or using the water purified by our municipal water suppliers to water your lawn, you can use a rain barrel. The rain barrel attaches right to your roof and collects the rain water into a large barrel with a nozzle where it can be stored until you need to water your lawn. Also, collecting the rain off the roof and putting it to good use prevents it from running off paved surfaces and picking up harmful substances on its way to larger water bodies.
