Rain Barrel Rebates
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!
