Hi everybody - I was just reading our blog and have to chime in. The Barn has rain barrels for sale and we will be demo-ing them and putting them to use this spring. Give us a call, or better yet, stop in and see how these can work in your yard.
The protection of our aquifers and water system is very important to us, especially living along the Fox River and the Fox River Valley. We live in a critical recharge area, which means our usage and what we put into our soil really makes a difference. The Barrington Area Council of Government has been researching and investigating ground water resources and usage for a few years now, and their work is eye opening. Even if you are not within the Barrington village limits, most of their studies include 40 miles beyond the entire Barrington area. Check out these two links for more information on water usage and learn what is happening beneath us!
