Product Rebates

“Water Conservation” is more than a drought-year catch phrase. It should be the way we in Utah always approach our critical responsibility to carefully manage our water supplies.

Appropriate equipment can make a difference in our landscape watering efficiency if it is installed and then used correctly. If you will take the necessary steps to purchase and use equipment that has been shown to reduce water use, we will help by sharing the cost.

Either the contractor or the homeowner may claim the rebate(s) offered, but not both. In either case, the homeowner must sign the rebate form to give Central Utah Water Conservancy District access to water use records. No rebate requests will be processed without the homeowner’s signature.

No irrigation controller or sprinkler clock is eligible for rebate without an attached weather station or moisture sensor accessory (satellite weather station access is also acceptable). Rain sensors alone are not eligible for rebate. Items 1 (Combination of Smart Controller PLUS weather station [...]) and 2 (Weather station [...]) CANNOT BE COMBINED. Item 2 is specifically “for addition to previously purchased system.”

Contractor receipts used by homeowners to claim rebates must include numbers and types of specialized sprinkler heads installed and/or number of drip zones installed. Equipment will not be rebated twice; i.e., one MP Pressure Regulated Body + Rotator Nozzle is eligible for one $10 rebate (if contractor-installed. Otherwise, rebate is 50% of equipment cost).

Rebates will be processed retroactively according to equipment purchase date(s) and the rebate in effect at that time. Any purchases made since July 1, 2010, will be processed according to the current rebate form and rules posted on this website.

Please note that a list of eligible products is included on page 2 of the product rebate forms.

Anyone residing within Central Utah Water Conservancy District may participate in the District’s Landscape Irrigation Product Rebate and Grant Programs. Eligible counties are: Salt Lake, Utah, Wasatch, Duchesne, Uintah, Sanpete, Piute, and portions of Summit, Juab, and Garfield. Map of CUWCD

Rebates will be given for individual properties, to either the homeowner or to the contractor. The limit of $599.00 per property will apply in either case.

For homeowners: Please assemble receipts for equipment purchased and submit them, with the signed Revised 2010 Landscape Irrigation Product Rebate Form (above). If a contractor has installed your equipment, please include a list of equipment installed, with number of items (for example: 6-zone Hunter Pro-C with Solar Sync, 20 MP Rotators, 2 drip zones) and contact information for the contractor (name, address, phone).

For contractors: Please assemble and submit receipts for equipment purchased, itemized for individual properties and accompanied by one contractor rebate form per property. Each property must be identified by property owner and address. No rebate requests can be processed without that specific documentation and the signature of the property owner.

Smart Controller:
A smart controller incorporates special features that provide functions promoting better water management scheduling.
Features included but not limited to:
14-day calendar
monthly water budgeting
even/odd/intervals
soak-cycle
connect-ability to option(s) below

Weather station, pager access, or moisture sensor accessory for Smart Controller (above)
Most smart controllers now available include the option of connecting to a weather station (either on-site or satellite with pager access) or soil moisture sensors. If purchased with the Smart Controller, the rebate applies.

Weather station, pager access, or moisture sensor accessory added to existing system.
This product can be added to an existing control clock to automatically change watering schedules according to the weather (onsite or satellite-by-pager) or soil moisture sensors.

Pressure regulator:
Most (but not all) homes in Utah have too-high water pressure, which causes both excess wear on irrigation valves and fittings, and misting, which wastes water through evaporation. Too-high pressure also impacts the function of valves. If the pressure is over 50 psi, a pressure regulator should be installed. These are available for entire systems or for individual valves or sprinklers. (These should not be confused with “pressure reducers” that sell for under $20 and are actually backflow preventers.)

Low precipitation stream-spray nozzles:
Very uniform, low water use spray heads shown to be effective in conservation. Best-known brand is MP Rotator, or consult irrigation specialty store for new entries into market.
Bubblers:
Look like regular spray heads but either bubble only or spray downward. Best for use under shrubs and near trees.
Xeri-sprays and xeri-pops:
Fine directed spray heads; xeri-pops “pop up” like regular spray heads
Drip emitters:
Fit on regular sprinkler risers, but have sections of spaghetti tubing extending to individual plants.
