Rainwater catchment systems are a great way to offset water consumption and decrease your water bill. Rainwater catchment diverts and stores rainwater from rooftops for later use. Some uses of rainwater include landscape irrigation, washing cars, or filling fountains in your garden.

Rainwater catchment diverts and stores rainwater from rooftops for later use. The gutter collects water from the roof and channels it through the downspout. This will direct the water into the storage tank.

Storage tanks come in many different sizes and materials. To save even more water, consider installing multiple rain barrels.

Customers can receive reimbursement for the purchase of materials and equipment associated with the initial installation or capacity expansion of a rainwater catchment system.

Learn about procedures, eligibility, and requirements at the link below.

Note: Rainwater Catchment projects must be pre-approved by the District before work may proceed.
