Mayor Jim Newberry introduced Lily, the newest member of the Wastenot family, which was invented by Lexingtonians
Mitzi Bender, right, and Karen Bell. The improved rain barrel attaches to the downspout and collects rainwater,
which can then be used to water the lawn and landscaping. The Lily pilot program will make 500 barrels available
to the public at a cost of $75. Those interested can call LexCall at 311 or (859) 425-2255 to sign up for a Lily.
