RAIN BARRELS:
The Coles County SWCD now has custom made rain barrels
for sale at the office. Rain barrels are an excellent way to collect
and store rain water, allowing homeowners to recycle water and cut down
on monthly water bills. Rain water is chlorine free and mineral rich
and can be used to water gardens and houseplants. By collecting rain
water and re-using it, runoff from storms is reduced and water quality
in our rivers and streams is improved.
The SWCD rain barrels include an overflow hose,
flexible downspout connector, a screened opening that will filter out
leaves and sticks, two openings for easy cleaning, IEPA approved
recycled barrels and gasket seals to prevent leaks around the spigot
and overflow openings. The rain barrels are locally made and all
proceeds go to support local conservation programs. The Rain Barrels are $85.00 (cash
or checks are accepted).
