    Rain Barrel Rebate Application
    Rain barrels can be placed under a roof downspout to collect storm water runoff that can be used for watering your lawn and gardens. This reduces runoff that carries pollutants into streams and rivers. Rain barrels conserve water in the summer months, help lower water bills, keep excess water out of the sewer system and are easy to install.
