Residents can save now 65 percent on a Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller through a new rebate program offered by your Roseville Utilities in partnership with the Regional Water Authority and local water providers.

The Rachio 3 Controller acts like a thermostat for your sprinklers, using local weather conditions to adjust how long your sprinklers run. The controller automatically reduces sprinkler runtimes when the weather is cooler and increases them when the temperatures rise. You can also manage the controller from your smart phone with the Rachio app.

It’s estimated that replacing a standard controller with a WaterSense-labeled smart controller like the Rachio 3 can save an average home about 13,500 gallons of water per year.

The Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller typically retails for about $220 for an eight-zone system but are being offered at a reduced rate of $75 plus tax. Residents will be responsible for installation.

Rebates are available for a limited time on a first-come, first-served basis until funding is exhausted. For rebate details, eligibility requirements, and application, visit BeWaterSmart.info or https://rwa.rachio.com/.
