Aquarion, the public water supply company for much of Connecticut, has asked for voluntary water conservation during this time of drought and high temperatures [see Ridgefield Patch article on Aquarion's request for water conservation]. Great time to think about using a rain barrel – RACE still has 2 left over from our Earth Day sale. The 55 gallon vessel, made out of partially recycled plastic, includes a mosquito screen and faucet. Cost is $70. If interested, contact dutendat@aol.com.
