Rain Tax Relief?

According to the article in the Spring/Summer edition of the Lenoir City news letter, they're going to have a Rain Barrel workshop at the end of the month. The article doesn't mention it, but I was just curious, if you buy a $40 rain barrel for your property would that reduce your Rain Tax? The ad says it will capture the water from your roof. You're being charged the Rain Tax for the water that runs off your property, so it kind of makes since that if less rain water is leaving your property you should pay less Rain Tax?

I bet that's not the case.

Current city officials will never willingly give up the Rain Tax. It's too big of a golden goose
