RECYCLED BARRELS PROMOTE WATER CONSERVATION

Through a collaboration with EO Products, Marin Municipal Water District is offering a do-it-yourself Recycled Rain Barrel Giveaway to customers. EO Products, a San Rafael-based essential oils producer focused on sustainable manufacturing, including putting its manufacturing products back into use, has donated barrels previously used in its business operation to the Marin water district. These non-food-grade barrels can easily be converted into water storage barrels for use in residential and commercial rainwater catchment systems, enabling Marin Water customers to supplement their outdoor watering needs. With the free barrels, a few needed supplies and instructions, customers can create their own rain catchment systems at a reduced cost. Each month, Marin Water will randomly select barrel recipients from the list of customers registered to receive them. The number of customers selected each month will be dependent on the availability of the barrels. Customers may request as many barrels as they need.
