Rebates on Water Conserving Devices for Outdoor Landscaping
IRWD, in partnership with regional water agencies, is providing rebates to encourage landscape irrigation account holders to upgrade their old irrigation controllers to new weather-based technology. By installing Smart Controllers, Rotating Nozzles or High Efficiency Nozzles, you protect your investment while improving the health and look of your landscape. The table below outlines current landscape irrigation rebate funding levels, effective August 1, 2007.

Smart Irrigation Controller Rebates - $750 per irrigated landscape
Smart Controllers for irrigation work on a these simple principles: provide the appropriate watering schedule; adjust for weather changes, and; irrigate based on the needs of your landscape. With Smart Controllers installed on your non-residential landscaped property, you will be able to avoid over watering and excessive run-off by scheduling the amount of irrigation applied based on plants' needs and current weather conditions.

This program, part of Save Water - Save A Buck, provides IRWD customers with a rebate to offset the purchase of a new smart irrigation system controller. Rebate amounts are currently $750 per irrigated acre. In order to participate, irrigation account holders must possess a fully operational automatic irrigation system on a minimum of 1200 square feet of irrigated landscape. The existing controller should not exceed a maximum of 48 valves. (Note: Eligible Smart irrigation controllers can be installed in new construction, pending IRWD approval on a case-by-case basis.)

Rotating Nozzles Rebates - $4 per rotating nozzle
The multi-trajectory, rotating streams of the Rotating Nozzles apply water much more slowly and uniformly than conventional spray nozzles and rotors--especially after arc and radius adjustment--allowing the water to soak into the ground instead of running off. Independent water audits now document water savings of 20% or more when conventional sprays are replaced with Rotating Nozzles. Additional water-saving advantages include better wind resistance and less misting.

Only rotating nozzles purchased on or after July 10, 2007 will be considered for a rebate. To qualify for rebate, all spray heads on each selected valve/station/zone must be replaced with rotating nozzles and the irrigation clock must be adjusted. There is a 25 unit minimum purchase requirement, with no maximum purchase limit.
