November 11, 2016 (San Diego’s East County) -- Save water this winter by installing a rain barrel – and save money by taking advantage of discounts and rebates that reduce the final cost of each rain barrel to $15 before tax.
The San Diego County Water Authority and its 24 member agencies have partnered with the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation to offer 50-gallon rain barrels for $90 each. The rain barrels can be purchased through the Solana Center and are normally $149.
Once purchased, residents can apply for the $75 rain barrel rebate (maximum two rebates per address) available through the SoCal WaterSmart regional rebate program by December 31. The rebate will be reduced to $35 effective January 1, 2017.
Residents may pick up their rain barrels at one of four designated pick-up locations throughout the county, including the Water Conservation Garden in El Cajon on December 3 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Residents must pre-order their rain barrels and choose their pick-up location before November 27. No sales will be made the day of the event.
To pre-order your discounted rain barrels, visit www.rainbarrelprogram.org/sandiego. Rebate applications are available online at http://www.socalwatersmart.com/. More details about the partnership can be found in the San Diego County Water Authority’s news release.
Discounted rain barrels and rebates are limited and are not guaranteed.
