Go Green Today and Buy a Rain Barrel!

With the past year’s extreme and severe drought, we all have to re-examine our water usage habits.  One way we can all cut our utility or well water usage is to install and use rain barrels.

GreenBuilt Contractors is committed to making it easy for you to become better informed about rain barrels and how they can help us to protect our water resources and landscape investments.

An Alternate Approach

·         Our region is entering a dry climate phase, and critical and extreme droughts are becoming the norm rather than the exception.

·         You still want to have your beautiful plants, flowers, and garden.

·         Even without downspouts, you can use rain barrel to collect the water from your shower, sinks and other internal water sources.

How Much Water Can You Collect?

Is it worth the money to install a rain barrel?  A small amount of rain can collect an amazing amount of water for your use.  

1/10 inch of rain on a 1000 sq. ft. roof can collect up to 63 gallons of water for you to use to:

·         Water your plants, flowers, bushes and lawn

·         Use in a bird bath or fountain

·         Wash your car, van, or truck
