Plus – Rain Barrels! Rain Barrels! Rain Barrels! Reserve your Rain Barrels here.
The town has purchased rain barrels. You will pay $57 per barrel at the workshop. The county will give you a rebate for the whole amount, plus. Your final cost will be a whopping $0. What is the plus? The rebate may include extras needed for installing the barrels, such as cinder blocks. The total rebate is up to $100 per barrel. You must have receipts for all your expenses. And remember to take before and after photos.
The rain barrels are as pictured, but are charcoal (black) in color.
