$4.50 per nozzle rebate: The Rotating Irrigation Nozzlesuses much less water than traditional lawn sprinkler heads. Only certain nozzles qualify for this rebate. |

* $80 rebate: Weather-based Irrigation Controllers (WBIC) Most people can save a lot of water by watering less; about 50% of the average home's water is used outdoors. One way to reduce water used for landscape irrigation is to install a "smart" controller -- an irrigation timer that adjusts itself automatically as the weather changes. It automatically waters less in the winter and more in the summer. The approved list of WBICs are those that have been SWAT (Smart Water Application Technologies) industry tested.
*For less than one acre and up to 12 stations. If you have more than 12 stations, the rebate is $6.50 per station. If you have more than one acre of landscape, the rebate amount changes to $630 per acre.

$0.30 per square foot rebate: Synthetic Turf, also known as artificial grass, is commonly used on athletic fields but can be used in the residential setting. There are several synthetic turf manufacturers that are approved for rebates.
