Wrocław to pay residents for rainwater

Wrocław authorities want less rainwater to reach the municipal sewerage system, and that’s why the subsidies will encourage residents to collect it on their properties. “Catch the rain” is a program for the residents of Wrocław. The city authorities will refund the costs of installing rainwater tanks on private properties. Applications can be submitted from August 2, 2019.
“With such intense climate changes we must try to retain rainwater, and we want to invite the residents of Wrocław to do this. Thanks to this, the local microclimate will improve,” Adam Zawada, Vice-President of Wrocław, emphasized.
The “Catch the rain" program’s participants will be able to get a refund of 80 percent of all the expenses. Those include the costs of setting up a rain garden, either in a container or in the ground, soakaway construction, installing an underground waste water tank or a freestanding roof tank. The refund cannot exceed PLN 5,000.
