Follow the Drop is a mobile and web app tool available for use for all O‘ahu residents. It is designed to help private property owners, renters and managers to identify and size green storm water infrastructure on existing properties to help capture and filter stormwater runoff. Once projects are installed users can track how much stormwater they are capturing and potential cost savings on their bills. The City has partnered with nonprofits to help communities assess their properties for stormwater capture opportunities and connect them with available incentives through Follow the Drop. Stay informed about current offerings on the Oahu Rain-Ready Incentive Program Website.
