Centre Wellington District High School (CWDHS) is now accepting pre-sale orders for the truckload rain barrel sale scheduled for May 2 at the school from 3:30 to 5:30pm.
Rain barrels sell for $55 and funds raised will support CWDHS environmental program.
Rain barrels capture and store rainwater collected from roofs through downspouts.
They provide chlorine-free and fluoride-free water, which is ideal for flowers, vegetables, lawns, shrubs and trees.
Collected water has a number of other uses including washing cars, cleaning floors, laundry and more.
These many uses can provide cost savings and conservation opportunities for every homeowner, especially those who pay to have water trucked in, use a well or have a water meter installed.
Purchasers have a choice of colours and each rain barrel available through the Upper Grand District School Board comes equipped with all the parts you need to set up your barrel.
These environmentally friendly products were once used to transport fruits and vegetables and have been refurbished and repurposed to offer years of reliable service as rain barrels.
Pre-sale orders are being accepted now at www.rainbarrel.ca/centrewellington.
