The City of Peoria is taking a proactive approach to encourage its water utility customers to save water and reduce their utility bills. In an effort to promote water conservation, the city is offering four different rebates to its residents.

One of the rebates being offered by the city is for installing smart irrigation controllers. By taking advantage of this rebate, customers can receive up to $250 back. This technology allows for more efficient watering of lawns and gardens, ensuring that water is being used in the most effective way possible.

Another rebate that residents can take advantage of is the xeriscape conversion rebate. This rebate offers customers between $200 and $3,000, depending on the measurement of their grass area. Xeriscaping is a landscaping technique that focuses on using plants that are native to the area and require less water. By converting to xeriscaping, residents can not only save water, but also enjoy a beautiful and sustainable landscape.

The city is also encouraging residents to plant desert trees by offering a rebate of up to $50 per tree, with a maximum of two rebates. Desert trees are well-suited to the arid climate of Peoria, and by planting them, residents can provide shade and beauty to their yards while also conserving water.

In addition, the City of Peoria is offering a rebate for installing high efficiency toilets. Customers can receive up to $100 per toilet, with a maximum of three rebates. High efficiency toilets use less water per flush, helping to reduce water consumption and lower utility bills.

These rebates are a win-win for both residents and the environment. By taking advantage of the rebates, residents can save money on their water bills while also contributing to the conservation of this precious resource. The City of Peoria is committed to promoting sustainable practices and is pleased to offer these incentives to its customers.

To learn more about these rebates and how to take advantage of them, residents can visit the city's website at www.peoriaaz.gov/rebates. By taking proactive steps to conserve water, residents can make a positive impact on both their wallets and the environment. As Mayor John Smith states, "These rebates are a great opportunity for our residents to save money and help protect our water resources. We encourage everyone to take advantage of these incentives and make a difference in our community."

With the City of Peoria leading the way, other municipalities are encouraged to follow suit and implement similar programs to promote water conservation. Water is a finite resource, and it is crucial that we all do our part to use it wisely. Through these rebates, the City of Peoria is setting an example for other communities and demonstrating the importance of water conservation.
