Village of Westmont
Date Issued: April 22, 2014
“One of the first programs initiated by the Community Stormwater Management Committee was the rain barrel discount program,” says Village Trustee Steve Nero. “I want to recognize and thank Mike Graham, one of our resident volunteers, who suggested the discount program as a way to inspire residents to get involved and participate. We ended up selling over 250 rain barrels, which is an all-time record for sales through the Village program.”
The 2014 Spring Rain Barrel Program provides a 50% discount off regular prices for rain barrels sold through the Village of Westmont. The program begins on Earth Day, April 22 and runs through May 30. Following are the details of the program:
