RainScapes Rewards Rebate Program

 

RainScapes Rewards Rebate Program Application Portal Reopens Wednesday, Feb. 1

The RainScapes Rebate Program application portal of Montgomery County’s Department of Environmental Protection will reopen on Wednesday, Feb. 1. The portal will have information on installing a RainScapes program and will offer guidance on selecting the right type of project to get started. However, the portal will only be open through March 31.

RainScape is a landscape or design technique that helps reduce stormwater runoff from individual properties. They include:

RainScapes can be installed on any kind of property, but those on private residential, institutional and/ or commercial properties may be eligible for financial assistance. More information is available at RainScapes Rewards Rebates. Rebates for projects on residential properties could be eligible for rebates up to $7,500.

County residents can complete a RainScapes application here.

Visit RainScapes.org for more information about the program and help in selecting and planning a project. The website includes examples of RainScapes projects.

More information also is available at FAQ page at RainScapes Rebate Program FAQs (montgomerycountymd.gov).

This is a Montgomery County, Maryland announcement.

I don't know how much it costs to install but with a $7,500 rebate, it sounds very worthwhile.

Good shout out for the The RainScapes Rebate Program in Montgomery County. Reducing stormwater runoff from individual properties is important and glad they offer one to fit your needs. The rebate is nice to encourage those to participate.

It really does sound like your community is lucky to share so many programs with the local government.  A lot of work can be done for $7,500,

I know here in California, with the recent rain torrents, we are beginning to look for ways to conserve the water, instead of letting it run out to sea.

I have never heard of anything like this. I wonder if they would allow a rebate for a barrel under a downspout for water recovery.

Hi Roy... not a concept I'd heard of but it certainly has aspects to it that quite a few people would probably related to and participate in.
