Beginning in 2025, large property rebates exceeding $5,000 will require signing an allocation agreement with Aurora Water. 

This agreement would create a new, permanent water allocation based on the water needs of the property’s landscape type (non-agreement allocations are based on meter size or average water use). 

These agreements allow Aurora Water to approve larger rebates while holding the property responsible for meeting water efficiency standards or otherwise gradually reimbursing the rebate funds.

Please read through the Allocation Agreement Rebate Program customer guidance document below to learn more about how the program works. 
All rebate projects need to be approved prior to installation per program guidelines.



Maximum Total Rebate Amounts

  • The total maximum rebate amount will be approved by Aurora Water Conservation staff in accordance with the agreed-upon project scope.

  • Irrigation components (all of the above except for smart controllers) are eligible for a total maximum rebate of $15,000.

  • Smart controller rebates are paid in a single check. Rebates are issued up to $150 per station or irrigation zone per controller. Pre-approval for max rebate amounts prior to installation is required. Rebates above the $5,000 threshold require signing an allocation agreement. 

Irrigation Rebate Rules

  1. Irrigation rebates are intended to incentivize efficiency upgrades to existing irrigation systems. Brand-new systems do not qualify.

  2. Rebates only cover the purchased item’s price; tax and labor are not included.

  3. Applicants are required to submit a W-9 form.

  4. Applicants are required to upload a photo of the installed smart irrigation controller

  5. Applications must be submitted within 90 days of purchase.

  6. Smart controller rebate applicants are required to sign up for Aurora Water’s Large Property Watering Variance program.

  7. Outdoor water assessments are not required to receive irrigation rebates.

Process

  1. Rebates are not guaranteed. Before installation, contact Aurora Water Conservation staff to discuss your project scope and estimate to receive pre-approval.

  2. Once approved, proceed with installation.

  3. Submit an application and necessary paperwork, including photos of the installed smart irrigation controller, a W-9, and an itemized receipt that shows the brand, model, and breakdown of material costs, labor, and taxes. Other items may be required per the rules above.

  4. Upon approval, rebate checks may take up to eight weeks to process.
