In July, the RainWise program achieved a milestone: 1,000 rain garden or cistern installations on private property. The program offers rebates to install rain gardens and cisterns on private property in Seattle neighborhoods where King County and Seattle are working to prevent combined sewer overflows (CSO). Almost half of the 1,000 installations are located in King County CSO basins.
