Cedar Park encourages rainwater harvesting. The City offers a rain barrel credit of $0.50 per gallon of storage (up to $100) for residential water customers, and HOAs may not prohibit rain barrels under Tex. Property Code §202.007.
The Cedar Park Rain Barrel Credits Program (administered by Cedar Park Utilities) gives single-family residential water customers a one-time credit of $0.50 per gallon of new storage capacity, with a $100 maximum credit per customer (additional barrels can be added up to the cap). Eligible barrels must be newly purchased (not used or self-made), must be dark-colored or have an internal liner to block sunlight, and must have screens on openings. Collected water must be used for non-potable purposes only and cannot be connected to the City's potable supply. Statewide, Tex. Property Code §202.007 voids any HOA covenant that prohibits a property owner from installing a rain barrel or rainwater harvesting system, though HOAs may regulate size, color, location, and screening of visible installations.
There are no penalties for installing rainwater harvesting equipment. Failure to follow Texas plumbing code if connecting collected water to indoor potable systems can trigger separate Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) enforcement.
