rels make sense and save cents
Water from rain barrels and cisterns is not suitable for drinking, cooking or laundry, but you can use it on your lawn and garden. Capturing rainwater in rain barrels or cisterns makes great sense for home gardens. Best of all, rainwater is free!
Capturing rainwater helps to alleviate overload on the storm water system and reduces the amount of potable water you use. Ultimately, this helps lower your utility bill.
You can see a rain barrel in action at the City of Tacoma’s EnviroHouse. Visit cityoftacoma.org/envirohouse for more info.
