Maximum Total Rebate Amounts

  • The total maximum rebate amount will be approved by Aurora Water Conservation staff according to 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 out in three installments. Upon completion of the project, 50% of the pre-tax material cost of the controller is paid out. The remaining two 25% payments are issued at the end of the following two full growing seasons, pending irrigation efficiency.
