Overview
Note: The rain barrel program is currently not accepting applications but will resume in the future. We encourage you to check back to this web page.
The VLWA rain barrel program was developed in 2016 and first rolled out in 2017 to reach out to people in Virginia to support simple at home techniques in improving their watershed.
To avoid VLWA from being in the middle of purchasing and distributing the rain barrels, the program is a reimbursement for homeowners to purchase and install on their own barrel prior to receiving the reimbursement. In this way people can select the style and size they want and handle all the subtleties of installation on their property. The program allows up to two rain barrels per property, at cost or a maximum of $100 per barrel. Since the program’s inception 48 barrels have been installed and reimbursed for our fellow Virginia homes. We have also given away a barrel at the Water Conference since 2018.
