Why save Rain Water….The average household in the US uses about 250 gallons per day. Most of that water comes through sophisticated water treatment plants. Seventy percent of that very costly water suitable for human consumption is used outdoors!
Yet splashing off your roof is tens of thousand of gallons delicious fresh rainwater suitable (and in some cases preferred) for a multitude of outdoor uses.
That water coming off your roof could go a long way to offset that consumption and save on $$$$ Irrigation and Water bill costs $$$$
Typically on retail they cost anywhere from 80-100$. Town of Ashland provides them for a highly discounted price for its residents! They are only 55$ for the barrel.
