Rainwise

Rainwise Rebates

RainWise is a rebate program that helps eligible property owners manage stormwater by installing rain gardens and cisterns on private property to prevent flooding and provide water for irrigation during the summer months. The RainWise Program provides rebates that cover most or all of the cost of installing cisterns and rain gardens on your property.

Rain Garden and Cisterns

A rain garden is a shallow depression containing spongy soil and a variety of plants that thrive in the Northwest. It collects water from your roof and safely soaks into the ground.

A cistern is a large above-ground container used to collect roof water and can hold 200 or more gallons. During the winter, cisterns store rain to reduce the amount of water entering the sewer system. In the summer, this water can be used for watering.
