We support citizens thinking about reuse of rainwater.

Last Updated November 28, 2024

Application acceptance period

From Monday, April 15, Reiwa 6 to Friday, January 31, Reiwa 7
Please be sure to check the following items and apply within the application period.

Grant amount

1/2 of the purchase price (including tax). However, the maximum amount of the grant is 20,000 yen.
If a fraction occurs, round down to less than 100 yen.

Example of calculation of grant amount

When purchasing a rainwater storage tank of 35,500 yen and an accessory of 1,000 yen (total: 36,500 yen)
36,500 yen x 1/2 = 18,250 yen
Since less than 100 yen is rounded down, the grant amount is 18,200 yen.

Grantees

The owner of a building in the city (in the case of apartment, the section-owned portion is regarded as one building).
However, buildings that have used this subsidy system in the past are not eligible for the subsidy.

Grants

The grant is for one rainwater storage tank (two or more units are possible when connecting) and its accessories (fall prevention chains, mounts, parts required for connection, etc.).
However, shipping costs and installation costs are not covered by the grant.
