Aquarion Water Company Offers Connecticut Customers Discounted Rain Barrels for 2026 Season
High-quality, 60-gallon upcycled rain barrels available for purchase at a discounted price through April 20.
In partnership with Jack’s Composters and Rain Barrels, Aquarion Water Company is offering Connecticut customers the opportunity to purchase upcycled rain barrels as part of its ongoing water conservation efforts.
Connecticut customers can purchase a high-quality, 60-gallon upcycled rain barrel designed to fit under a downspout and catch rainwater running off the roof. Customers can collect and store water for use in a garden whenever it rains. It takes just one-quarter inch of rainfall on an average roof to fill the barrel and provide water during dry periods, even when water use is restricted. The usage of rain barrels can help conserve water and reduce water bills.
Key Features:
60-gallon food-grade upcycled rain barrel with brass spigot
A removable intake screen keeps insects and debris from entering
Overflow directs water away from the foundation
Connects to drip irrigation, soaker, or garden hoses
Terra cotta color prevents light transmission and inhibits algae growth
