This program provides funding for projects that capture and clean rainwater before it goes into storm drains and local waterways. You can receive up to 90 percent reimbursement for a project.
Projects
These projects are good for the environment because they mimic nature and absorb water pollution from impervious surfaces, like roofs and driveways.
| Types | ||
| Cisterns | Pavement removal | Rain garden/Bioretention |
| Disconnecting downspouts | Permeable pavement | Tree well |
| Green roofs | Rain barrels (no cost-share; a good small project!) | Water gardens/Constructed wetland |
Process
When you start a project:
- Request a consultation;
- Submit an application;
- Get approval;
- Work with your contractor on the project;
- Save invoices and receipts; and,
- Get reimbursed.
Email or call us at 919-996-3940 to get the application.
Reimbursement
Depending on your location, you may receive 75 to 90 percent reimbursement for your project once it is complete. High-priority areas with a lot of water pollution receive 90 percent reimbursement.
