The following cities offer rain container rebates:

"Why don't I just put my garbage can under the roof?"
 An open top can has no provision for overflow or flooding, no cover, no dispersal system, and they are not aesthetically designed.

"I can't afford the cost of a self contained water delivery system and its infrastructure."
It's not necessary to collect every drop of monsoon rain totaling thousands of gallons, nor is it economically practical to retrofit a house for rainwater. Start small with a couple of containers linked together and use them for plants and household chores such as rinsing off the dog, washing your car, rinsing off your hands after working in the yard. Additionally, proper placement and overflow direction will alleviate pooling around the foundation of your house.

"It never rains here"
 Phoenix gets an average of 7" per year, which works out to 4200 gallons from 1000 feet of roof. That's enough water to fill 50 Roof to Ground receptacles. All the more reason to collect and store it for the dry periods.

"I don't want a big ugly tank in my yard"
Designed for both form and function, a Roof to Ground container will enhance rather than detract from your blooming landscape. No need to hide this vase-shaped, non "barrel-looking" unit behind the shed.

"My HOA will say no"
At a height of 4' our containers are small enough to be unobtrusive, yet will hold 90 gallons. They are available in customized colors to match homeowner association color schemes.

"It's not worth all the effort"
Rainwater harvesting is low tech, unlike greywater collection which requires extensive plumbing alterations to trap rinse water from household drains. Rainwater harvesting simply directs water that is falling on the roof and siphons it off to a receptacle. All containers come equipped with welded non-leak fittings for a spigot, an oveflow outlet, and a drain plug. All you do is put the can under the roof and hope for rain.

"I won't save enough money"
Tucson and Phoenix municipal water prices average .023 cents per gallon, so harvesting rainwater is more about conservation than money. However, the cumulative effect of thousands of households saving a few hundred gallons a year is significant. Additionally, rain collection events are not predictable, it makes sense to capture and store some for the dry periods so that your plants will benefit from the effects of rainwater all year round.
