Business smart irrigation controller rebate

$400 rebate available for each WaterSense-certified irrigation controller

Smart controllers automate irrigation, delivering water based on site and weather data rather than a schedule.

When installed a programmed correctly, they can reduce outdoor water use by up to 30%.[tooltip text="Average water savings can vary. Factors like weather and usage can affect these figures."]  

We offer a rebate that covers half of the purchase price (up to $400) per WaterSense Smart Controller.

This rebate is only for Colorado Springs Utilities commercial water customers completing retrofit projects. It does not apply to new construction.
Open grey control panel box of a large irrigation controller. There is a screen and a directional pad of buttons below the model number which is "CS3000."

Questions & answers

Still have questions? We can help. Email us using the link below.

Can I install a smart controller myself, or do I need to hire a contractor?

We strongly recommend hiring a contractor to install your smart controller.

Installation and programming these devices is a complex process. If your controller is installed incorrectly, it will not be as effective.
