Rain Barrel Program in Lake Worth

Comment Up
Tripp and Jennifer Ciocci are into the rain barrel program having recently bought a 58 gallon barrel. Commissioner Golden applauds our residents-- is proud that they are replacing their grass with native plants and says that "we live in an educated population."

Well reality is what it is. We are short on water, the worlds' most precious resource and Lake Worth had the foresight to reverse a previous Commission's decision on our water supply source in order to build a Reverse Osmosis Plant. This is one of the best decisions to date.

Here in Lake Worth we are giving residents a $25 credit on their water bills for everyone who purchases a 40 gallon plus rain barrel. Many cities are starting programs. Tampa Water Utility customers are eligible to receive a free rain barrel after attending a workshop.

  1. Laurence McNamara has for more than 3 years recommended this program with the City providing for fellow legal Citizens who can't afford it. They have paid taxes for 60,70 and 80 years and must live on $300.- to $400.- social security!We thank God that this finally is being implemented. Tripp and Jennifer will remember.
    Laurence also recommended Cistairns for all new and restored housing plus a program where the City sells them ,when it can buy those at wholesale(half) price from manufacturers!
    Drew forgot Laurence's suggestion about Cistairns!
    His campaign promise confirmed and promised this..
