Water conservation opportunity available to New Hampshire residents
Hampton, NH – March 11, 2024 – Aquarion Water Company announced today that it is offering upcycled rain barrels for sale as part of its ongoing water conservation efforts.
New Hampshire customers can purchase a high-quality, 60-gallon upcycled rain barrel designed to fit under a downspout and catch rainwater running off the roof. Customers can collect and store water for use in a garden whenever it rains. It takes just
one-quarter inch of rainfall on an average roof to fill the barrel and provide water during dry periods, even when restrictions are imposed on water usage. The usage of rain barrels can help conserve water and reduce water bills.
Key Features:
• 60-gallon food-grade upcycled rain barrel with brass spigot
• A removable intake screen keeps insects and debris from entering
• Overflow directs water away from the foundation
• Connects to drip irrigation, soaker, or garden hoses
