RAINWISE

STORMWATER RUNOFF IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF POLLUTION IN OUR LOCAL RIVERS AND THE PUGET SOUND.

City of Seattle is making it easy for you to take action to reduce our impact on local water bodies through the creation of the RainWise Program. RainWise offers eligible residents a rebate to build a rain garden in your yard or attach a cistern to your downspout.

The average rebate is $4,000! As certified RainWise contractors we can help guide you through the process of getting a rain garden or cistern installed on your property. If interested, contact us for more information and eligibility status, or see the link below.

RAINWISE CISTERN-TO-RAIN GARDEN | WEDGEWOOD, SEATTLE, WA

A cistern, nestled against the house, collects roof runoff during rainy days in Seattle. Once full, it releases the captured water to nourish a vibrant rain garden, where native plants absorb the remaining stormwater, significantly reducing overflow into the city's sewer system.
