SMART Irrigation Technology Rebate Application
The City of Corinth will offer a rebate for residential ‘SMART Irrigation Technology’ installation. With the ever increasing need to conserve water, the use of ‘Smart Technology’ promotes healthy and attractive landscaping by improving watering efficiency with new technologies which may include: drip irrigation retrofit; moisture sensors; flow sensors; high efficiency sprinkler nozzles; spray bodies with built-in pressure regulation and check valves; and/or smart/evapotranspiration controllers. Smart irrigation systems tailor watering schedules and run times automatically to meet specific landscape needs. Smart/evapotranspiration controllers use weather and/or site data to determine when and how long to water. Then, sprinklers apply just enough water at exactly the right time in each zone of the yard. Smart controllers save water, by suspending watering during rain, freezing or high wind conditions. Careful scheduling minimizes evaporation and encourages water to soak in, reducing the total amount of water needed. Preventing overwatering actually keeps plants healthier by encouraging stronger roots and discouraging weeds, disease and fungus growth. Smart systems can reduce your annual water bill by as much as 20-30% by preventing water waste.
