HOW TO GET A DISCOUNTED RAIN BARREL — OR TWO — FROM THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO
如何从萨克拉门托市买到一个或两个打折的雨桶
Sacramento residents for a limited time can purchase rain barrels at a discounted rate from the City’s Department of Utilities.
萨克拉门托的居民可以在限时内以折扣价从市政公用事业部门购买雨桶。
Rain barrels collect water from roofs to store it for later use on lawns, gardens or indoor plants.
雨桶收集屋顶上的水,储存起来以后用在草坪、花园或室内植物上。
“A lot of people are so excited about these rain barrels. They reach out, they ask when they can get more,” said William Granger, the City’s water conservation coordinator. “We’re just trying to make sure everyone has a chance to purchase one.”
“很多人对这些雨桶非常兴奋。他们伸出援手,询问什么时候能够买到更多,”萨市水资源保护协调员威廉·格兰杰(William Granger)说。“我们只是想确保每个人都有机会购买。”
People can order up to two barrels online beginning at 5 a.m. Oct. 20. Barrels cost about $45 and are shipped directly to an address.
从10月20日,早上5点开始,人们可以在网上订购最多两桶。桶的价格约为45美元,直接运到一个地址。
“It’s a great way to use rainwater for your landscapes, while saving drinking water for other uses during the drought,” he said.
他说:“这是一种合理利用雨水的好方法。”
New customers will receive priority, while customers who have purchase barrels in the past will be placed on a waiting list.
新客户将获得优先购买权,而过去购买过桶的客户将被列入等待名单。
“Barrel sales are first come, first serve. Last year, we ran out after about five or six days,” said Granger.
“桶装销售是先到先得。去年,我们用了五六天就售罄了。”
