$250 City Giveaway for Rainwater Conservation.
By Gary Krieger

The City of Los Angeles has a pilot program to conserve rainwater for residents and local businesses. The purpose of the program is to prevent water runoff and the contamination the runoff water carries with it to the drainage system. By recycling the rainwater for use in your gardens, it reduces the amount of runoff entering the storm drains and eventually the ocean.
The City is providing installation and equipment, the value of which is estimated to be $250 per household. If you’d like to sign up, or for more information, go to http://www.larainwaterharvesting.org/ or call 562-597-0205.
