Water Efficiency Rebate Program

Rebate Program

To help take control of your irrigation system’s water usage, the City of Roseville, in partnership with the Metropolitan Council and the Clean Water Land & Legacy Amendment, is offering up to $300 off your water bill for upgrading/repairing your irrigation system (75% rebate) or replacing your toilet, clothes washer or dishwasher (50% rebate). This water rebate program offers reductions on your water bill for making fixes to your existing irrigation system intended to increase efficiency and reduce water usage.

Homes with automatic irrigation systems can use about 50% more water outdoors than those without them. Older controllers with timer systems can turn on the water when the soil is already at peak moisture and even in the rain. Broken sprinkler heads leak or spray water onto paved surfaces where the water runs into the stormwater system.
