Up to $200 Rain Barrel Rebate Available for Brisbane Residents

The City of Brisbane, as a participating member agency of the Bay Area Water Supply & Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) and in partnership with Flows to Bay, the San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program, is now offering rebates of up to $200 for qualifying rain barrels or cisterns. Rain barrels collect rainwater which is stored for later use and can be used to irrigate your garden.

Rain barrels protect our local waterways by reducing the amount of litter, motor oil, and pollutants that enter the storm drains. Rain barrels can moderate flooding during the rainy winter season, decrease land erosion, and also reduce the amount of moisture that reaches your home’s foundation.

Support a local business by purchasing a rain barrel from Brisbane Hardware, make your own rain barrel system, or use a 10% Welcome Discount to purchase a rain barrel from BlueBarrel!  Check what kind of rain barrel qualifies for the rebate or read about the program requirements at flowstobay.org or BAWSCA’s webpage, bayareaconservation.org/rebates/barrels.  Then, sign up using the online application (recommended for the fastest rebate) or download the paper application found on the Flows to Bay site.
