It’s raining rebates in Coaldale once again with the Town of Coaldale’s Rain Barrel Rebate program.
Launched last year, the program provides residents with a 50 per cent rebate on the purchase of a rain barrel, up to a maximum of $50 per barrel. The program remains open until Oct. 1 or until a designated fund of $15,000 has been depleted.
“As a Council, we recognize responsible water management is essential, not only during times of crisis, but as part of our long-term vision for Coaldale’s future,” says Mayor Jack Van Rijn.
“Last year, our region was on the verge of a severe drought, which reinforced just how critical it is to have proactive conservation measures in place. But water conservation isn’t just about weathering dry years — it’s about ensuring the sustainability of our water supply, so our community can continue to grow and thrive. Every drop we save today helps support Coaldale’s future, whether it’s by reducing pressure on our infrastructure, preserving green spaces or enabling future development,” Van Rijn notes.
According to Van Rijn, this rebate program is a simple, yet effective way for residents to be part of the solution. “While also receiving a financial incentive. Buy a barrel, get a rebate and start saving water today.”
Residents interested in applying for the rebate can submit their applications online at coaldale.ca/rain-barrel-rebate-program or in-person at the Town Office.
Rebates will be issued as a credit on residential utility bills and both property owners and renters are eligible to apply. Proof of purchase in the form of a receipt is required.
