In-Ground Irrigation System Rebates
Save water and lower your bill
An improperly maintained in-ground irrigation system can leak water and waste money. Customers should inspect systems annually to prevent over-watering, breaks, leaks and backflow into potable water lines. Also, adding a rain sensor to an in-ground irrigation system will save money and water by keeping it from running when there has been sufficient rain.

$50 maintenance rebate per in-ground irrigation system, $25 rain sensor rebate per system.
