About Us
The Rain Garden & LID Program at KCD works cooperatively with county services, landowners, and local communities to expand knowledge and use of low impact development (LID) practices throughout Kitsap County.
With funding from Clean Water Kitsap, we help landowners to protect local water resources by providing information, technical assistance, and financial incentives toward the installation and maintenance of rain gardens and other LID solutions.
Our Services
We offer free site visits to any landowner in unincorporated Kitsap County to assess and discuss what LID projects are feasible for your property. If you are interested in pursuing any of these options, we offer free technical assistance and planning. For projects approved for financial assistance, we can often cover the majority of costs for installation and materials.
Since 2010, our cost-share program has helped landowners fund and install rain gardens. In 2014, our program expanded to include a number of new LID options in addition to rain gardens. These include rain barrels, lawn modification, soakage trenches, and native plants.
