Rain Barrel Rebates
Please Note
Thank you for your interest in our Rain Barrel Rebate Program. Please see our application form below. Rebates are limited and offered only while funding is available.
Conserve water and save money in your home or community! The City of Saskatoon offers a rain barrel rebate program to encourage residents, schools, community gardens, and businesses to adopt eco-friendly practices.
During the average year in Saskatoon, a 1,000 square foot roof will capture enough rain water to fill a 55-gallon rain barrel 110-125 times during the gardening season!
By participating, you can receive financial support for purchasing or constructing a rain barrel, helping you save water and contribute to a greener environment. Read on to learn more about eligibility, rebate amounts, and how to apply!
