Discounted Rain Barrels Available In Greenwich For 2026 Season: Here's How To Get One

GREENWICH, CT — Aquarion Water Company is reminding customers, including those in Greenwich, 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.

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.

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

Key features include:

• 60-gallon food-grade upcycled rain barrel with brass spigot
• A removable intake screen that keeps insects and debris from entering
• Overflow that directs water away from the foundation
• Compatibility with drip irrigation, soaker, or garden hoses
• Terra cotta color to prevent light transmission and inhibit algae growth
• Easy setup and use, with a screw-off top for cleaning
• Ability to connect multiple barrels for extra capacity

Customers can order barrels online at www.aquarionwater.com/rainbarrels. At 30 percent off the retail price, the cost for a rain barrel is $85. Orders must be received by April 20.

Barrels will be available for pickup at several locations, including Greenwich Town Hall, 101 Field Point Road, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 25.
