Smart Irrigation Rebate
Weather-based irrigation controllers can
reduce water waste and lower utility bills. The smart controller
automatically adjusts the watering schedule based on the local
weather data, soil, and plant types to create a customized water
schedule.
Irrigation control technologies can significantly reduce
overwatering by applying water only when plants need it. The EPA
estimates that up to 50% of irrigation water is overwatering.
Thurston PUD will offer residential customers a rebate of $50
towards the purchase price of a qualifying WaterSense smart
irrigation controller and/or add-on plug-in device. Rebates are
limited - rebates will be awarded on a first come-first served
basis.
What are the eligibility requirements?
Smart controller and/or add-on plug-in must be included on the EPA’s WaterSense Product Search Page.
Proof of purchase of controllers that do not have smart
technology built in must be paired with the proof of purchase of
a compatible WaterSense labelled plug-in or add-on.
The name on the rebate application must be associated with an
active Thurston PUD water account.
Irrigation controllers without smart technology or weather sensor
added on or plugged in will not be eligible for rebate.
