By applying for these water conservation programs below, you can save hundreds of dollars in rebates, improve your irrigation system and help preserve Polk’s water supply for generations to come.
Outdoor Water Efficiency
The average household uses more water for irrigation than for essential indoor use. That doesn’t account for water wasted due to overwatering, watering paved surfaces or broken sprinkler heads. Improving your irrigation system’s accuracy and efficiency will save water and money. Check out the programs below to improve your outdoor water efficiency.
Sprinkler System Check-Up
An irrigation evaluation program is available at no cost to our high-volume water users (single and multi-family homes and commercial businesses) who average more than 14,000 gallons per month. Each free evaluation includes:
- Irrigation system evaluation with site-specific recommendations
- Assistance with proper irrigation timer settings
- System functionality check, including identification of leaking lines and/or broken spray heads
- Rain sensor installation, if needed. (The purchase of the rain sensor is the responsibility of the property owner.)
- Smart timer installation, if needed. (The purchase of the smart timer is the responsibility of the property owner.)
Must be a Polk County Utilities customer to be eligible and already have an operating irrigation system.
