Smart ET Irrigation Controller – up to $250
(Effective Aug. 1, 2010)
 
These irrigation controllers use current weather data and information about site conditions (such as soil moisture, rain, wind, slope, soil, plant type, and more), and apply the right amount of water to the landscape based on those factors.
 
The use of weather-based irrigation controllers may qualify for a rebate of 50 percent of the actual cost of the controller (excluding taxes) up to $250 per unit.

• Residential applicants are eligible to receive one (1) Smart Irrigation Controller rebate.
   
• HOA, multi-family, commercial and industrial applicants are eligible to receive a maximum of five (5) Smart Irrigation Controller rebates.
