The rain barrels will be selling for $45 each with a $10 rebate available for RPU water customers. Rain barrels can cut your water bill by up to 40% and by collecting rain water, they provide a healthy and natural source of water for lawns, gardens, and plant life.

In addition, compost bins will also be sold for $40 each. There is a limited supply of rain barrels and compost bins being offered.
