Utilities Kingston has a limited number of rain barrels that will be offered to its water & sewer customers at the special price of $32 per barrel.

  • Call 613-546-0000 to reserve your rain barrel.
  • Barrels will be limited to one per household in the Utilities Kingston water distribution area.
  • The cost of the rain barrel ($32) will be added to your Utilities Kingston account.
  • Rain barrels will be delivered to your home. The rain barrels will be delivered by area, no appointments are required; you do not have to be home.

RAIN BARREL FEATURES:

  • Easy to install — cut the existing downspout above the top of the rain barrel, re-install the elbow so that it sits just above the centre of the screen. Place the overflow hose on the upper connection and secure the clamp. Direct the overflow hose away from the foundation.
  • The top is made of a child proof screen for intercepting debris and mosquitoes.
  • It has a barrel tap installed near the bottom of the drum to allow a connection of a garden hose.
  • The overflow is installed near the top of the drum with a 3.6 metre (12 foot) piece of flexible hose to allow excess water to run away from foundation of the building.
  • In the winter simply turn the barrel over so water does not accumulate and freeze.
