Residents can purchase 50-gallon rain barrels at a discount and potentially receive a rebate.
The details
The program is part of an effort to push for water conservation. As part of that, the city is offering discounted rain barrels that are designed to be mosquito-resistant, feature a locking child-proof lid and have an overflow hose attachment, according to a Feb. 17 news flash.
The barrels are an eco-friendly option to harvest rainwater, thereby reducing runoff pollution and conserving city water, according to the news flash.
A limited number of residents who install two rain barrels per household may qualify for a $25 rebate off their utility bill, according to the city’s website. Rebates will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis for the first 200 customers who qualify.
The program began in February, according to the news flash.
Diving in deeper
Officials said conserving rain water can help with both large and small landscape projects.
Residents who order rain barrels by May 27 can pick them up June 7, 9 a.m.-noon at the League City Public Works Operation Center, 1701 W. League City Parkway, League City.
