Collect The Rain

Do you pay a water bill? Start SAVING money by collecting the rain. Get yourself a decent size rain barrel or some type of bucket that you can put a lid on top of to keep out bugs and trash. When it rains, remove the lid and let the rain collect inside.

What can you do with the water you have collected? You can SAVE money by not using your current water source when you water such things as:
  • inside plants
  • outside plants
  • gardens and yards
  • or washing the dog

I can tell you from my own personal experience, that by doing this I can keep my water bill between $20 and $25 a month (on occasion it has been less than $20) for a family of 3 very active adults. Give it a try, every little bit counts.
