Now accepting applications for rebate
Homeowners and communities located in the Elks Run Watershed of Jefferson County are eligible for a 50% rebate on the installation of a rain garden up to $1,200 in addition to a free rain garden design and free plants. A rain garden is a planted depression that allows rainwater runoff from impervious urban areas, like roofs, driveways, walkways, parking lots and compacted lawn areas, the opportunity to be absorbed. The application deadline for the Elks Run Residential and Community Rain Garden Rebate program is March 1. Please contact Suzy Campbell at 304-263-4376 ext. 3 or at scampbell@wvca.us to find out how to apply. Visit www.elksrunwatershed.org to learn more about Elks Run, rain gardens and more.
