Aquarion encourages customers to conserve water using rain barrels

Water utility Aquarion is encouraging customers to conserve water resources by using rain barrels that they will provide at a discounted price of $85. Rain barrels can capture rainwater from your roof's downspout that can provide a ready supply for your garden or lawn. Orders will be accepted through April 21 and can be picked up at Greenwich Town Hall on April 26.

Here's what you get:

*60-gallon recycled rain barrel with brass spigot

*Removable screen to prevent insects and debris from entering

*Overflow hose to direct water away

*Screw-off top to make cleaning quick and easy

Between the Lines - Wonder what this means. Are water prices about to go up? Are they expecting water restrictions again this summer? Why not offer this for free?
