RainWise Cisterns

Above-ground cisterns collect roof water, holding 200+ gallons. In heavy rains, they temporarily store rain to reduce the amount of water entering the sewer, then slowly release back into the sewer system. In the summer the water can be stored and used for watering.

RainWise Rain garden

A rain garden is a shallow depression containing spongy soil and a variety of selected hardy plants. Rain gardens collect water from your roof downspout and allow it to safely soak into the ground while providing ecological benefits to native birds, insects and wildlife.
