Rain barrels reduce runoff that can harm existing water
sources and contribute to overflow in the city's water system. Additionally,
rain barrels can help offset water usage that, in New England, can increase by
as much as 60% during the spring, summer, and fall seasons.
Barrels will be available for pick up on Saturday, April 12
from 9 to 11 a.m. at the DPW Yard, 1 Franey Road. All orders must be made by April 5 at 5 p.m.
