RainWise

Big Roofs

In addition to single-family residences, RainWise appreciates the participation of “Big Roof” properties. We encourage community centers, religious organizations, apartment buildings and businesses to participate in the RainWise program. The larger the roof, the bigger the rebate to keep Puget Sound clean.

RainWise Benefits for Large Properties

Save Money

For properties with large roofs, the RainWise rebate typically covers the entire cost of installation. In addition, property owners can apply for the Stormwater Facilities Credit and save money on their annual drainage fee.

Curbside Appeal

RainWise provides you with the opportunity to beautify your building’s landscape and collect water for summer irrigation. Who doesn’t love a nice garden?

Environmental Stewardship

RainWise is about protecting our local waters and educating communities. RainWise can help you become a role model for environmental stewardship.

Volunteer Engagement

Your RainWise installation provides opportunities for volunteer engagement, neighborhood events, and community building. In addition, the RainWise team can work with you to organize ground breaking ceremonies, educational signage, workshops, and environmental stewardship demonstrations.
