Residents wanting to reduce their water use can consider purchasing a rain barrel through the city’s online sale now through 5 p.m. on Nov. 1. Barrels are $35 each and “collect rainwater that can be used for outdoor irrigation, which saves money and reduces stormwater pollution,” according to the city. Barrels can be picked up from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 2 at the Mercer Island Boat Launch at 3600 E. Mercer Way. For more information, visit: https://mercerisland.rainbarrelsale.com/
