Upon receiving my latest high water bill, I started thinking about the sources of water. As I looked out my window rain was falling in sheets from the sky. I noticed it wa scoming down so hard that it was spilling over the edges of the gutters. It was gushing from the downspouts. This was a tremendous amount of water going to waste. It was there for the collecting.
For years people have used troughs and rain barrels to collect this gift from the heavens. It still could be done. Reroute your downspouts to a trough or barrel. It could be used later used for your garden, to wash your car, to wash your dishes, even to fill a small pool for the kids, and it is all for free. It will save you money on water costs. It may not be pennies from heaven, but it is the next best thing.
