The rebate is intended to help save participants up to 100 gallons of water per day, which averages approximately 10 percent off their annual water bill.

Residential or business water customers who use drinking water for irrigation systems installed before Jan. 1, 1991 and do not have a working rain sensor are eligible to participate. After a customer sends in a completed application form, an authorized Polk County Utilities representative will verify correct rain sensor installation and issue the rebate check.

The program will end on Aug. 31, 2011 or when funds are exhausted, whichever occurs first.

For more information, or to obtain an application, call Polk County Utilities Customer Service, (863) 298-4100.
