Aurora and Newmarket have teamed up with Envira World to sell these barrels, which collect water from roofs for gardening and cleaning tasks. The collected rainwater is nutrient-rich, making it ideal for plants and lawns while cutting down on stormwater runoff and household water bills. Aurora sales started this Monday, and runs through May 1st, while Newmarket's wraps up April 26th, with each barrel priced at $79.95. Meanwhile, Barry ended its program last year amid falling sales and more online options, leaving these towns as key spots for locals looking to go. Green this season.
