Rain Barrels

Exeter Public Works is excited to offer a sustainable rain barrel program!

In the past, the town partnered with the Great American Rain Barrel Company for residents to purchase rain barrels. Public Works Water Sewer team has taken the initiative to upcycle previously used, clean 35-gallon chemical barrels to be re-purposed as rain barrels. The crew drilled the necessary holes in some of our stock for easy assembly. A few parts averaging less than $45 and your barrel will be ready in very little time. A parts list and instructional video link will be provided when you pick up your barrel to make sure you can get started right away. To reserve your barrel please contact the Public Works Office (contact info below). Let us know when you will pick it up. 

Water conservation is one of our top priorities. We take pride in sustainability and want to be sure that residents have the opportunity to reduce water usage to save money and water.
