Kirkland highlights YardSmart rain-rewards rebates for homeowners
Summary
The city promoted the YardSmart rain rewards program, saying homeowners may be eligible for rebates (the podcast cited up to $5,000 for homeowners but also referenced a larger figure without clarification).
The City of Kirklands podcast highlighted the YardSmart rain rewards program, which the hosts described as a rebate program to help homeowners install rain gardens and native landscaping.
On the March 27 episode, a host said, "Kirkland homeowners can get up to $5,000 in rebates." Later in the same segment another amount was mentioned without clarification: a host referred to "$55,000 in rebates to install rain gardens and native landscapes." The podcast did not specify whether the larger figure referred to a total program budget, an aggregate award pool, or a different program component.
The hosts encouraged residents to check eligibility for driveway upgrades such as permeable pavers and to schedule a free site visit through the program. The podcast directed listeners to the citys website for more information; the show transcript said the web address for program details as kirklandwa.gov/Yodsma.
Because the episode referenced two different dollar figures for rebates without defining the larger amount, the exact per-home maximum that applies in each case should be confirmed on the city website or with the citys program staff before planning a project.
