I'm looking for a RainWise contractor

Monsoon Gardens did mine. They were awesome. My tanks are refilling as we speak!

Thanks for the quick recommendation, Marston! I've reached out to Monsoon.

BTW Ben, you realize the that as long as you have enough roof, the city pays for almost everything. I think we paid $80 to add a small section of gutter to tie in 40% more of our roof.

Marston Gould Could you help educate the newbies here? What does it mean to "tie in" more of your roof? How does the city pay for it?

Rainwise is a city sponsored program. They contract with lots of companies who will come out and measure the size of each roof section and estimate how much water will go from your roof to the downspouts that you tie into the cisterns. I have 3 - 650 gallon. If the size, pitch of your roof ties into rain gutters they will determine how many gallons of water you can save. If it meets some minimum threshold, city pays for pretty much everything. You have to sign docs that you won’t disengage. We had to tie more roof into ours to qualify. City didn’t pay for that bit. So subcontractor addd some gutters to tie out stand alone garage to the house.

Wait, is this a thing? Marston, take a pic and try our new photo feature! I want to see your rain garden. This might be just the project to brighten up the covid fall.
