Water Efficiency Rebate Program <br />The City of Arden Hills is offering rebates to residents for replacements or upgrades to their toilets, irrigation <br />controllers, dishwashers, and washing machines. Installing more efficient appliances and toilets helps lower the <br />water demand for all residents and businesses, thereby reducing the City’s overall water treatment cost and the <br />maintenance of water mains. <br />This rebate program is made possible by a grant from the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services through <br />funding from the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment. Rebates to residents up to $200 will be offered on qualified purchases. Funding is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis on submitted and completed <br />applications. The rebate program has been allocated $10,000 and will close once that amount has been exhausted. <br />Eligibility <br />Eligible items must be WaterSense or EnergyStar certified. Verify certification <br />on the EPA WaterSense website and confirm the logo is visible on the <br />packaging. Eligible purchases include replacements or upgrades to toilets, irrigation controllers, clothes washing machine, and dishwashers. <br />Rebates will be paid up to 75% of the pre-tax costs, not to exceed $200 <br />per utility account and are available for device cost and installation only. <br />Replacements must have been purchased after July 1, 2024. Owner labor charges are not <br />applicable. New houses and new developments are not eligible for this program. <br />Required Documents <br />Some items are required when submitting your application, which must include the purchase date, make and model, <br />pre-tax cost, and installation cost (if applicable—owner labor is ineligible). Also required is the WaterSense or <br />EnergyStar documentation or labels from the products and, finally, a photo of the installed device. <br />Apply for Rebate <br />Find more information and complete the rebate application at <br />cityofardenhills.org/1226/Residential-Water-Efficiency-Rebates, or complete a <br />printed application and return it to City Hall, along with copies of the required <br />documents listed above.
