About the Program
On July 1, 2013 East Valley Water District launched a water conservation rebate program for residents within the service area to assist with replacing older fixtures with water efficient models and expanded those programs in June 2015 to further encourage conservation based on the drought emergency.
Funding is approved on an annual basis, and rebates are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. .
In order for items to be eligible for a rebate, purchases must be made after July 1, 2020. All applications must be submitted by June 30, 2021 for processing. It is recommended that you receive rebate approval prior to purchase, to ensure that the requested item meets the program qualification requirements.
Important Processing Information
At this time the processing period is taking longer than the 6-8 weeks due to the increase in program participation. We thank you for your patience as we continue to processes applications in a timely matter. Thank you.
