Cedar Park Rainwater Rebate

Updated August 2023

Cedar Park is offering a rebate of $0.50 per gallon of storage capacity, up to a maximum of $100 to their water customers.  If additional barrel(s) are purchased, you can apply again for the new capacity, up to the $100 maximum. The credit is NOT for the same barrels year after year; it is for expansions or additions to the system.

Cedar Park has specific guidelines for the rebate so you should definitely understand all of the requirements before purchasing any rain barrel.

Eligibility requirements:

• Applicant must be a direct City of Cedar Park single-family residential water customer in good standing.
• Rainwater collected will only be used for non-potable purposes and not connected to the City of Cedar Park water supply.
• An itemized receipt must be submitted with the application within 60-days of installation. Receipt must include date, vendor name and address, amount paid, and capacity of the barrel(s).
• Applicant is responsible for obtaining HOA approval, if applicable. HOA cannot prohibit rainwater harvesting in the City of Cedar Park; however, they may dictate where the barrel(s) may be located on your property.
• Credits are available until funds are expended. Once funds are exhausted, the credit program will no longer appear on the website.

The rain barrel requirements include:

• Only newly purchased barrels are eligible. Used, repurposed, recycled, or self-made barrels are not eligible.
• Must be dark-colored or have an internal liner to prevent sunlight from penetrating the tank.
• Must have screens on openings to prevent debris, insects, or animals from entering barrel.
• Must have a pipe/hose to direct the overflow water away from the base to prevent erosion and localized flooding.
• If barrel is made of galvanized metal or wood, it must have an interior liner to prevent rusting or rotting.
• Barrels must be level on the ground or on a pad site made of concrete, gravel or sand.
