Great news for Water Wise Landscapes in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Montecito, Summerland, Carpinteria and other areas of Santa Barbara county! The family of Santa Barbara County water providers has gotten together and approved a program that gives you cash for making your garden more water wise. Rebates are available up to 50% of the cost of irrigation equipment, smart irrigation controllers, water-wise plants, and mulch. Projects must be approved in advance, but the process is simple. We broke ground on a project in Carpinteria on Monday and on Tuesday our client received a flyer in the mail advertising this program. She called her water district and within 2 hours, Rhonda from the Carpinteria Valley Water District wa onsite. She walked around, took photos, and checked off on her list all the things we were installing that were water wise. Since we al;ways use the later is water wise landscaping and irrigation products and techniques, our project qualified for the max rebate without any additional changes or even knowledge that this program existing. Our products that qualified were the Rainbird ESP-SMT Smart Controller for the irrigation control, Hunter MP Rotator Nozzles for the lawn 4″pop-up sprinklers, mulch in all the planters, and our selection of water wise plants. Rhonda also informed me that certain cities and larger projects can qualify for up to $1000 in rebates. The participating South COast water providers are Goleta Water District, City of Santa Barbara, and the Carpinteria Valley Water District.
