As mentioned previously, most rain barrel installations generated an additional one or two applications, as recipients told their friends, neighbors and family members about the program. That became especially apparent throughout the end of 2019, as many neighborhoods and even specific blocks had multiple applicants requesting rain barrels. Green Light anticipates this will continue to be the case in 2020, which makes continued momentum and implementation especially crucial.

It is also anticipated that an expedited application process— using an online form that does not require applicants to download PDFs or mail in applications—will help increase applications for the program.
