Rain Barrel

Terms and Conditions

Rain Barrel

Terms and Conditions

Single-family and duplex customers

I understand that, as a Participant I am eligible to receive funds not exceeding $150 for rain barrel(s).

Reimbursement will be provided for up to $0.75 per gallon of water storage capacity, not to exceed a total storage capacity of 200 gallons for all rain barrels purchased.
The maximum rebate of $150 is for rain barrel(s) only and will not exceed the cost of the rain barrel(s).
The rebate does not cover labor, materials or equipment. Ineligible items include but are not limited to the following: hose connections and/or tools rented/purchased to complete/install the product(s).
In order for the rebate to be processed, the City must receive a full itemized receipt/invoice. When receipts are available, no other proofs of payment are required. A receipt is any document that contains the following five IRS-required elements:

Name of vendor (person or company you paid)
Transaction date (when you paid)
Detailed description of goods or services purchased (what you bought)
Amount paid
Form of payment (how you paid – cash, check, or last four digits of credit card)

Water Conservation has the right to reject the rebate(s) on new and/or used items and cannot promise that all or some products will be rebated. The reasons for rejection include, but are not limited to, failure to function or deliver on water savings as intended, failure to meet the City’s standards, or if rebates have already been applied to the product already in the past five years. At post-inspection, rain barrel(s) must be connected to a downspout and work for its/their intended purpose to be considered for rebate.

Applicable Conditions:

I understand that (1) this is a limited, first‐come, first‐served program, (2) rebates are only given for projects which have applications that are approved and rain barrels that have been correctly installed, (3) the City can deny any application that does not meet program requirements (which may change without notification), and (4) rebates are not applicable to, and will not be provided for, any work or conversion performed prior to my enrollment in the rebate program.
I am responsible for completing the retrofit project within 120 days of receiving approval to proceed from the City’s Water Conservation Staff. I may install it myself or hire a contractor to do the work. In either case, the City is not responsible or liable for any damage to my lawn or property in any way connected to the retrofit project.
I understand that if my project will take longer than 120 days, I must submit a request for extension via mail or email as early as possible. If I do not submit my project receipts by the end of 120 days or the end of my approved extension, I will be found ineligible and will not be able to receive my Rain Barrel Rebate.
I understand that if I am asked for supplemental documents to my application, I must supply them within two weeks from the time I am asked for them from program staff. If I fail to return them within this timeframe, my application will be withdrawn and must wait one month before reapplying.
I shall submit my itemized receipts to City’s Water Conservation Staff upon completion of the retrofit project. I am subject to a post‐completion inspection appointment where Water Conservation Staff may: measure my landscape area, take photographs, check/evaluate my irrigation system for volumetric flow, and verify installation. Reimbursement shall only be available for a completed project approved by the City.
I understand that I am responsible for ensuring that my retrofit project follows the program guidelines. I understand that the proper installation of the rain barrel(s) is/are solely my responsibility and may not result in lower water bills.
Upon completion of my project, I will provide a total cost of the project and copies of all receipts and invoices associated with the project. These receipts will be itemized, showing quantity and price for each item purchased. The City reimbursement amount will not exceed $150 and is based on the cost of the project as documented by invoices or receipts.
I will allow the City to conduct site visits to my property within five years of the date of this Agreement for the purpose of collecting data and photographs of the project site. The City will contact me in advance to arrange times for these visits.
I am responsible for complying with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, or other legal requirements, and nothing in this Agreement shall excuse or modify any such requirements.
I, the Participant, agree to defend, indemnify, protect and hold the City of Sacramento and its agents, officers, and employees harmless from and against any and all claims or liability for injuries or damages to any person or property to the extent arising from my acts or omissions related to rain barrel installation or operation, or the acts or omissions of my contractor or anyone acting on my or my contractor’s behalf, or from conditions on my property.
I understand that the rain barrel installation(s) must remain in place for a minimum of five years after installation. If, prior to the expiration of the five years, I decide to replace and/or remove the rain barrel(s), I will repay the City the funds I received under this Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect until the five years have expired.
