Through special arrangement with the New England Rain Barrel Company, rain barrels are available from the Water Department at a discounted price to all Topsfield residents. These 55-gallon recycled plastic drums have been reconditioned to catch water from your roof and gutters, perfect for use on your garden and plants while outside water restrictions are in effect. They feature a screened inlet to prevent mosquitos from breeding in the water and two brass faucets that allow two or more units to be connected together. A five foot hose allows you to use the water without touching the barrel.

The barrels are available to Topsfield residents at the discounted price of $72.70 In addition, the Water Department has agreed to further reduce this price by $15 for the first 50 barrels sold to Topsfield residents. Please call the New England Rain Barrel Company at (877) 531-3135 to place your order. A demonstration barrel is on display at the Water Department Office.
