Discounted Rain Barrels Available In Fairfield For 2026 Season: Aquarion Water Company

FAIRFIELD, CT — Aquarion Water Company is reminding customers, including those in Fairfield, that it is offering upcycled rain barrels for sale as part of its ongoing water conservation efforts, in partnership with Jack's Composters and Rain Barrels.

According to a news release provided by the water company, 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 release notes.

The usage of rain barrels can help conserve water and reduce water bills, according to Aquarion.

According to the release, key features include:

• 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.
• Easy to set up and use – screw off top for easy cleaning.
• Join multiple barrels for extra capacity.

Customers can order barrels online at here.

At 30 percent off the retail price, the cost for a rain barrel is $85. Orders must be received by April 20, according to Aquarion.
