Rain barrels can have multiple benefits for both the homeowner and the environment, and an upcoming event will make it easy to residents of Langley and Surrey to get one.
A rain barrel sale is being hosted through the cooperation of both cities. By purchasing one, a homeowner will be able to collect rainwater for use in their garden. This lowers water bills, helps to regulate the pH of the soil, prevents erosion, and minimizes the amount of runoff that reaches streams and rivers.
The FreeGarden RAIN brand barrels have been priced at $55.00 each, and have a capacity of 208 litres. Each comes with installation instructions, as well as the hardware needed to get it up and running. The style allows it to be linked with other barrels, and keeps children and insects out.
The sale will be held on May 8 at Willowbrook Shopping Centre starting at 9:00 am. Since limited quantities are available, it is recommended that people preorder theirs as early as possible. Signs can be designed and produced by a printer for use during the day of the sale and beforehand to help let the public know when and where it will be taking place.
More information about the benefits of using a rain barrel, and a chance to preorder one, can be found on the City of Langley website.Get a Free Quote for Signs
