Rain Barrels: A Great Way to Help the Environment
Installing rain barrels is a great way to help both you and the environment by:
- Reducing storm water runoff
- Providing water for your flowers, lawn and vegetables
- Decreasing your water bill
Once a rain barrel is installed, rain water that falls on the roof is diverted from the gutter system into the rain barrel. This water can then be used to water the garden, grass, wash your car, etc. Rain barrels can be decorated so they become a visually appealing part of your landscape.
The Village of Lisle and the Conservation Foundation have coordinated with Upcycle Products Inc. to provide a way for Lisle residents to purchase rain barrels. Rain barrels can be purchased for home delivery using the link below:
