20 May “Catch the Rain” rebates

The Chester County Water Resources Authority is accepting applications for the 2026 Catch the Rain Program, which supports practices that reduce stormwater runoff and improve water quality. Homeowners may qualify for a Catch the Rain rebate to help protect aquatic habitats, reduce drainage issues and localized flooding, and strengthen local biodiversity by implementing green infrastructure practices on their property. Eligible projects include rain gardens, conservation landscaping, shade tree or riparian buffer plantings, and de-paving or permeable pavement retrofits. Landowners are eligible for rebates covering 50% of project costs up to $2,500.
