To alleviate confusion, the rain barrels mentioned in a recent local news story are not through Osage Valley Electric Coop... they are actually being distributed by Osage Valley RCD (Resource Conservation and Development Department, which is located upstairs at the Butler City Hall).
A $2,000 grant has been approved for the city of Butler to be used for the purchase of 50 rain barrels to be used for water conservation in Butler.
Please do not call the electric cooperative for info about the barrels- you may contact Osage Valley RCD at 660-679-4332.
