Rain Barrel Rebate
A rain barrel captures stormwater from downspouts and stores the water for future use. Capturing this stormwater from the impermeable surfaces on your property helps reduce the amount of polluted runoff that reaches our streams. The maximum rebate amount is $100. Rebate cannot exceed the costs of the rain barrel installation.
