Water Conservation Rebates

The installation of a smart control irrigation system helps residents use water more efficiently. These controllers provide irrigation only when required according to weather and other environmental conditions, thereby reducing water use.

Property owners are eligible for up to a $300 rebate on the purchase of a qualifying smart irrigation controller.

Unlike traditional controllers, which are really just timers, smart controllers work by monitoring and using information about site conditions (such as soil moisture, rain, wind, slope, soil, plant type, and more) and apply the right amount of water based on those factors - not too much and not too little - to maintain healthy growing conditions. Industry testing has proven that they can successfully reduce outdoor water use by as much as 20-40 per cent annually while maintaining, and often enhancing, the health and beauty of the landscape.

Note: All irrigation systems must have backflow protection. One smart irrigation controller rebate per installation address.

Lawns and gardens with high quality soil, mulch, or compost use water more efficiently thereby reducing water use.

Residential property owners are eligible for a rebate of 75 per cent of the cost, up to $200, of purchasing soil to improve the water-holding capacity of their lawn or garden.

Nurturing healthy soil can double the rate of plant survival and growth, and cut landscape water needs by 50 per cent. In part, this is because healthy soil acts like a sponge, holding water and nutrients in the root zone of plants. Furthermore, healthy, absorbent soil is a key part of property storm water management, as it increases your landscape's ability to retain water from large rainfall events
