About the Program
On July 1, 2013 East Valley Water District launched a water conservation rebate program for residents within the service area to assist with replacing older fixtures with water efficient models and expanded those programs in June 2015 to further encourage conservation based on the drought emergency.
Funding is approved on an annual basis, and rebates are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. .
In order for items to be eligible for a rebate, purchases must be made after July 1, 2023. All applications must be submitted by August 1, 2024 for processing. It is recommended that you receive rebate approval prior to purchase, to ensure that the requested item meets the program qualification requirements.
Customer account must be in good standing in order to be eligible to participate in any of the District's rebate programs.
For more information about the Water Conservation Rebate program contact 909-806-4287 or email the Conservation Department.
Important Processing Information
At this time, the processing period is taking longer than the stated 6-8 weeks due to the increase in program participation. We thank you for your patience as we continue to processes applications as quickly as possible.
Indoor Rebates
By taking simple steps like replacing water-guzzling fixtures, customers can reduce home water consumption by up to 27 gallons per person per day. Other ways customers can save water indoors is by purchasing water-related household appliances that have an ENERGY STAR rating. High-efficiency plumbing fixtures and appliances save about 30% of indoor water use and can yield substantial savings on water and energy bills. You can also research consumer reports - Greener Choices is an information clearinghouse with green ratings of products and appliances including washing machines and dishwashers.
High-Efficiency Toilets
Up to $100, per toilet installed that uses 1.28 gallons or less per flush and is recognized by the WaterSense program.
High-Efficiency Showerhead
Up to $30, per showerhead that uses 2 gallons or less per minute and is recognized by the WaterSense program.
High-Efficiency Washing Machine
Up to $150, for the purchase of a clothes washer with a water factor of 5 or less and is recognized as an EnergyStar appliance.
Outdoor Rebates
Outdoor irrigation accounts for approximately 60% of total water used in our service area. EVWD encourages optimum irrigation efficiency through the use of:
- Low-water-use plants and less turf grass in a landscapes design
- High-efficiency irrigation technology
- Water-use efficiency surveys
- Repairs of irrigation leaks
Weather-Based Irrigation Controller
Up to $150, per weather-based irrigation controller installed that automatically adjust irrigation schedules for sprinkler systems in response to changing weather or environmental conditions.
High-Efficiency Sprinkler Nozzles
Up to $4, per High-Efficiency Sprinkler nozzle installed that uses less water per minute than conventional nozzles.
Water Efficient Landscaping
Up to $200, for water efficient landscaping that uses native plants, efficient irrigation systems and other landscaping elements that thrive using less water than traditional grass lawns.
Irrigation Retrofit Program (NEW)
Weather based irrigation controllers (WBIC) use the weather to set your irrigation schedule instead of a traditional sprinkler controller. High efficiency nozzles use a lower water flow per minute than conventional spray nozzles, reducing water usage. To help customers increase water efficiency outdoors, the District will replace old irrigation controllers with a new WBIC, install high efficiency nozzles, and complete minor irrigation repairs through the new irrigation retrofit program at no cost to the customer.
