Smart Irrigation Rebate

Toho Water Authority (Toho) offers a $145 rebate for residential customers with in-ground irrigation systems. Customers may qualify for the rebate when they replace their current irrigation controller to an EPA WaterSense-labeled smart irrigation controller or attach an EPA WaterSense-labeled add-on or plug-in to their current controller.

Benefits to upgrading:

Reduce water waste and lower water bills
Prevent overwatering and underwatering for healthier landscapes
Automatically adjusted watering using local weather data
Eliminate guesswork in determining how much water the landscape needs

Some models even offer features like remote control via mobile app or leak detection

Please see program details below and to apply.

Program Details:

Rebates are funded by Toho Water Authority (Toho) for their service area residential customers. Commercial customers are not eligible for the rebate.
The rebate program is available for purchases made between October 1, 2024, and October 31, 2027, or until funds are depleted.
The rebate will appear as a credit on your water bill. If you are not a Toho customer but have upgraded the controllers for residential properties you own that receive Toho irrigation services, a check for the rebate will be mailed to you.

Guidelines:

The residential property must be a Toho Water Authority (Toho) customer (i.e., the water bill is paid directly to Toho, not a city or private utility).
At the time of the upgrade, the residential property must have an operational in-ground irrigation system that receives Toho irrigation or reclaimed service. Irrigation systems using wells, lakes, and ponds are not eligible.
The replacement controller must be a new, stand-alone EPA WaterSense-labeled controller. Plug-ins or add-ons must be EPA WaterSense-labeled when upgrading a current controller. See the EPA WaterSense product list below.
Only one (1) rebate per single-family residence (including occupied homes, condos and mobile homes).
Additional irrigation system upgrades do not qualify for this rebate.
The new smart controller, add-on or plug-in must be installed and documented with photos before submitting the application (no exceptions).
Toho staff will determine if the new controller, add-on or plug-in meets program requirements.
Toho reserves the right to deny rebates for failure to meet program requirements.
Toho does not guarantee product performance or installation quality.
