Dear rain barrel applicant, we want to send along a quick word about Green Light’s response to the COVID-19 virus. First of all, the health and well-being of the community is and always has been Green Light’s first priority. With that in mind, we are taking the following precautions for all upcoming rain barrel installations, including your own:
- To limit shared points of physical contact, we will no longer be providing physical paperwork to be completed during the installation. Instead, we will email you documents that you can complete on your computer and email back to us.
- Green Light employee will practice social distancing during installations, making an effort to maintain 6-8 feet of personal space.
- Green Light employee will sanitize hands regularly before and after each installation.
Generally speaking, you do not even need to come outside for the duration of the installation. If you prefer to stay inside, we only ask that you clearly communicate where the barrel should be placed and be available to answer any questions our rain barrel installer may have. For safety reason only one person will perform the installation. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, and we will gladly work to address them with you.
We encourage you to apply. AND PLEASE keep 6 feet distance to friends, neighbors, co-workers .....and everyone else IT IS CRUCIAL
