How to Get the BLUE Williston Residential Stormwater Rebate

What you get

Reimburses Williston homeowners $250 to $1,000 for installing approved stormwater practices, including rain gardens and native infiltration plantings. Participants must first complete a free BLUE Williston site evaluation, then design the practice to the BLUE Basis of Design or BLUE Small-Scale Green Stormwater Infrastructure Practices standards; the design must be documented and approved by BLUE/Lake Champlain Sea Grant staff before installation. Funding is limited and rebates are issued at BLUE Williston staff discretion (Lake Champlain Sea Grant / BLUE Williston; last verified July 2026).

What applying usually looks like

A general guide. Always confirm the exact steps on the official program page, since each provider runs its process a little differently.

1. 1

   Apply and get written approval first

   Submit your application to BLUE (Lake Champlain Sea Grant) / Town of Williston and wait for written approval before you remove any turf or start work. Starting early is the most common reason a rebate is denied.

   Do the conversion

   Replace your lawn with the qualifying landscaping, following the eligibility requirements above.

3. 3

   Submit your claim

   After the work is done, submit your claim on the official program page. Confirm the exact forms, receipts, and any photos they require there, since those vary by program.
