SUMMARY:2025 Rain Barrel Program
DESCRIPTION:LLCT and Lincoln Conservation Department are teaming up to offe
 r a rain barrel purchasing program\, last offered in Lincoln in 2021!\n\nW
 hy rain barrels? This past summer\, many communities reported several inch
 es of rain within just a few hours. On August 8\, more than six inches of 
 rain fell on parts of Massachusetts. Drivers were stranded in their cars. 
 Heavy rains sent bacteria-laden storm water into the ocean and many of our
  beaches had to close. By October 2\, there had been only five rain-free w
 eekends since Memorial Day. This is a direct crisis of climate change.\n\n
 Rain Barrels benefit both communities and our planet by:\n\n 	Providing a 
 clean\, untreated water source that can be used for gardening and cleaning
 .\n 	Decreasing energy consumption and greenhouse emissions at water treat
 ment plants which is crucial to fighting climate change.\n 	Reducing water
  bills up to 40% and can save homeowners 1300 gallons of water annually.\n
  	Using less water helps to sustainably manage water as a global resource\
 , ensuring its availability for future generations.\n\nAbout the Program:\
