INSTALL A WATER BUTT
If you don’t already have a way of harvesting rainwater, there are a number of ways to collect it – starting by just leaving mud kitchen pots and pans out overnight. However, a water butt is a more permanent method, and will provide on-demand water for children without sending your water meter into overdrive.
Water butts come in many sizes and are easily attached to a downpipe using the kit that comes with them. If you’re pushed for space, a narrow water butt will fit into a tight corner – but if you have the room for a large one and can afford it, you won’t regret having an almost never-ending source of free water.
