water conservation project

Any and all residents who are interested in owning a rain barrel should contact the EcoHawks Club at the high school as part of a water conservation project. The barrels are 55-gallon, clean, food-grade, and adaptable for collecting rain water for use on our lawns, washing our cars, pets, hands after working in the yard, and watering our flowers and gardens. We are still on a water restriction and coming into the dry season. They will be especially useful after our NEXT hurricane as water to bathe in, clean up, and flush our toilets. Water is critical after a hurricane and we should save the drinking water for drinking. The residents of MS can get their barrels at a deep discount to the online prices of $70-150 each, probably less than $40 each, depending on how many people sign up for a barrel, so we could get a volume discount. The guy who gives these talks all over, from Broward to the Keys, will come and show us how to make our rain barrels correctly and help us for FREE. Put your contact information on a list with the EcoHawks.
