SAN ANGELO, Texas — A raindrop saved is a raindrop earned. That’s the idea behind the rainwater collection system that Billy Kniffen, a water resources specialist, installed at the Roy K.

Residents will use the rainwater for their horticulture and gardening program using a 3,000 gallon tank and a drip system that Kniffen put in for the gardens.
