My $40 rain barrel from the city program is already paying off this spring

I picked up one of those discounted rain barrels from the Everett public works sale back in March for like $40. Hooked it up under a downspout in my backyard last weekend and after that big storm Thursday it filled up in just a few hours. Used that water yesterday to soak my tomatoes and peppers instead of turning on the hose. Has anyone else tried these city rain barrels or know if they do another sale later this year?

Smart move, those things fill up way faster than you'd think.

Is saving $2 on your water bill really that big of a deal?

Same here, filled mine up in one night easy.
