looking for a standard, low-cost butt it's worth checking out what your water company has to offer. Most of the water companies have teamed up with commercial partners to sell reasonably priced water butt kits with free delivery. Anglian Water is currently running a multibuy "buy one get one half price" offer on several of its range. This includes the 190-litre, green, Rainsaver kit marketed as "the biggest selling water butt in the UK" at 38.96, and the 100-litre Mini Rainsaver kit at 28.96, both including free delivery. Meanwhile, Thames Water is selling the 200-litre Cloudburst Water Butt Kit, with a green, wood grain effect and fitted with a child-safe lid and tap as standard at 37.19, and the smaller 95-litre Cloudburst kit at 27.19. Prices include delivery and a 1 donation to the London Wildlife Trust.
