Rain barrels for sale by HWA

out rainbarrelHaywood Waterways Association and Haywood Cooperative Extension Service have 55-gallon rain barrels for sale.

The barrels are made from recycled food-grade containers and fitted with a bug screen and connections for a garden hose, overflow pipes, or to connect multiple barrels in series. Display models are at the Cooperative Extension office (589 Raccoon Road in Waynesville) where they can also be purchased.

 The cost for each barrel is $80.25, which includes sales tax.

 Each barrel captures 650 gallons of stormwater per year on average and also helps keep pollutants, such as airborne nitrogen, from getting into streams. Over their estimated 30-year lifespan, they have a value of $880 in terms of nitrogen removal and potable water savings.

 Rain barrels can also be ordered online at www.haywoodwaterways.org/mdc.html or by contacting Haywood Waterways at 828.476.4667 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
