Do you want to help protect the environment and get paid to do it? You can right from your home or business! The Raleigh Rainwater Rewards (R3) Program provides funding for projects that help preserve and protect our waterways.
This program is part of Raleigh’s Sustainable Business Toolkit, a collection of programs designed to help businesses and other organizations save money and help reach the goals in the city’s Community Climate Action Plan.
This is a rain garden that collects stormwater runoff from the property's roof and sidewalk when it rains. The plants and soil in the garden protect creeks and streams from water pollution.
Permeable pavement can be used for driveways and walkways. It allows stormwater runoff to soak into the ground when it rains protecting surface waters from pollution.
Removing impervious surfaces such as paved driveways or tennis courts reduces stormwater runoff by allowing rain to soak into the ground.
Cisterns collect rainwater that would normally flow to a stream or creek. Water from cisterns can be used for landscaping, carwashing, and gardening.
This green roof at Raleigh Union Station collects rain before it falls to the ground or evaporates into the air. This type of planted roof helps reduce pollution to Rocky Branch, a nearby stream.
