DDOE Rain Barrel Rebate Program

Install yourself, skip the wait and receive a rebate.  Due to the popularity of the RiverSmart Homes Program, there is a 3 to 5 month wait for installation from the date you sign up.  The Rain Barrel Rebate Program allows homeowners to independently purchase and install a rain barrel from a list of 12 approved barrels, priced by the manufacturer or distributor.  The following links guide you through the application and installation process.
