Install an irrigation flow sensor and receive 50% of the cost of the device, up to $250.

A flow sensor is a device used to detect and track water use in an irrigation system. With a compatible controller, it can send alerts of high or low use, help detect leaks, and provide precise data on total system or per zone water usage.

Benefits

• Real time monitoring of irrigation system flow

• Sends alerts to your controller of high or low flow, helping to identify leaks and irregular use 

See the Qualifying List of Irrigation Flow Sensors for eligible products.

Required Documentation (sample here):

1. Photo of new irrigation flow sensor installed per manufacturer specifications. 

2. Photo of wire connected to flow sensor port on controller.  

3. Screenshot of active connection with compatible controller showing flow used per zone.

4. Copy of receipt showing the purchase date and price (excluding tax and fees). If the equipment is already purchased, the receipt must show that the purchase was made within 90 days of application submission.   

Convert your spray irrigation to drip irrigation and receive up to $0.25 per square foot of drip installed.

Benefits

• Prevent water loss from wind, misting, and runoff
• Apply water more efficiently in small, narrow, or steep areas
• Deliver water directly and deeply into clay soils to reach entire root zones

Resources

• Sample Irrigation Design Layouts 
• Drip Irrigation Guidelines

Required Documentation* (sample here):

*Requires pre-approval. 

1. Before photos of your existing sprinklers.

2. Close-up photos showing drip tubing and/or emitters.

Replace conventional spray nozzles with high-efficiency nozzles and receive up to $4 each.

Benefits

• Larger water droplets prevent water loss from evaporation, over-spray, and wind
• Apply less water at slower rates, allowing more time for water to soak into the soil and preventing runoff
• Increase uniformity of water distribution (to prevent patchy or brown spots in lawn)

Need help? Check out our video explaining how to replace the nozzles.

Required Documentation (sample here):

1. Before photos of your existing sprinklers showing the irrigation zone watered with inefficient fixed spray nozzles that are causing misting, overspray, and runoff. 

2. After photos showing all sprinkler nozzles within the irrigation zone have been converted to high-efficiency nozzles. 

3. Copy of receipt showing the purchase date and price (excluding tax and fees). If the equipment is already purchased, the receipt must show that the purchase was made within 90 days of application submission.   

Install a pressure regulator for your entire irrigation system and receive 50% of the cost of the device up to $125. 

Benefits

• Prevent leaks and sprinkler blowouts 

Required Documentation (sample here):

1. Photo of newly installed brass or bronze pressure regulator installed upstream of the entire irrigation system. 

2. Copy of receipt showing the purchase date and price (excluding tax and fees). If the equipment is already purchased, the receipt must show that the purchase was made within 90 days of application submission.
