Rainwater Harvesting Rebate for City of San Diego Residents – Downspout Redirect
A downspout is a pipe that helps rainwater flow off the roof, but they often flow directly onto hard, impervious areas like concrete or pavement. That water runoff then enters the storm drain system where it flows untreated into San Diego’s waterways and the ocean. A downspout redirect helps this rainwater flow to a vegetated area to be naturally filtered instead. So joining your neighbors and utilizing this rebate will help protect our beaches, water quality and marine life.
Receive up to $40 per disconnect by redirecting downspout to a landscaped area. Normally done in conjunction with a rain barrel application
Rebates for rain barrels and rain gutters are also available. Visit the City of San Diego website for more info.
