In some places owning a rain barrel can benefit not just your home, but your wallet too! Many cities across the United States are introducing rain barrel rebate programs to encourage local water conservation amongst their residents. Most of these areas are hoping to reduce demand for municipal water and preserve their ground supplies.
In order to receive your rebate, most cities are requiring that residents fill out a basic application and mail it in with the original copy of the rain barrels receipt. This will differ depending on where you live – some cities will even have somebody come out and inspect your yard to make sure you have a rain barrel!
It seems that majority of areas are sending back rebates to those who mail in their applications, but some are even crediting back utility accounts. Regardless – your city wants to acknowledge your part in water conservation and the preservation of the environment.
Make sure to check with your city or county to find out if they offer any rebate programs. There can be a number of different requirements and limitations based on your location. Some programs are offering higher rebates based on the number of barrels you purchase. None of these programs offer any installation help. What’s a better way to be economical and cost efficient this summer?
