Rain Barrels

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

The Public Works Water Sewer team has taken the initiative to upcycle previously used, 35-gallon chemical barrels (cleaned) to be re-purposed as rain barrels. The crew can drill the necessary holes for easy assembly. The parts list below will help make sure you can get started right away. To reserve your barrel, please get in touch with the Public Works Office. 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.
