Catch Rain,
More than a Barrel...
With every storm in Austin, rain rushes off of hard surfaces like roofs and driveways and flows towards creeks.
The speed and amount of that water can cause erosion and flooding problems on your property, and beyond. The runoff can also carry pollutants that damage plants and animals in our waterways.
Rain gardens and cisterns can help address these stormwater issues while helping you solve landscaping problems, add beauty to your yard, and increase your water security!

The Rain Catcher Pilot
The Rain Catcher Pilot ran from October 2018 til January 2023 and offered incentives like rebates and discounts to eligible property owners to install rain gardens, trees, and/or cisterns that capture and slow down stormwater. Rain gardens, trees, and cisterns add financial and ecological value to landscapes, help with drainage issues, and conserve water.
The rebates and discounts offered through the pilot program covered more of the costs of installing rain gardens and cisterns than ever before. The other incentives like free site assessments, contractor connection, and assistance with the rebate process help make the program easier for participants.
Vote for your Watershed!
The Rain Catcher Pilot offers many benefits. We are currently preparing to continue the pilot in a new watershed. Will it be yours? Make sure to vote for your watershed!
