Sprinkler System, Drought Tolerant Plant, and Turf Removal Rebate Program
All rebate funding has been renewed through June 30, 2025! Customers may apply for additional outdoor rebates each fiscal year (July 1 - June 30).
Do you use City water to irrigate your home or business landscape? If so, you may qualify for our outdoor rebates and can get cash back for installing high efficiency sprinkler products, drought tolerant plants, and even removing turfgrass! Upgrading your sprinkler system and replacing turfgrass with drought tolerant plants is one of the most effective ways to save water at your property.
If you're interested but don't know what your sprinkler system needs, setting up a FREE sprinkler system assessment for your home or business is a great place to start. Call us at 406-582-3220 to schedule an assessment and receive a customized watering schedule along with a detailed report of recommended irrigation water efficiency repairs and upgrades.
