The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District is selling rain barrels.

The cost of each barrel is $85 with preorders required by April 27. Barrels can be picked up in Noblesville on May 9 from 3 to 6 p.m. and on May 10 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Further details on pick-ups will be emailed to customers, according to the SWCD.

The rain barrels, which hold 55 gallons of water, can be used for gardening, lawn care and washing a car. They are a great way to conserve water and reduce water bills, officials said.

Additional barrels and supplies will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis after that date, officials said. Each barrel, which are either black or gray, comes with a mosquito-proof screen and a spigot for easy watering.

Accessories including diverters for easy installation, stands and hoses to connect multiple barrels for extra water storage are also available, according to the SWCD.
