Irrigation & Landscape Assessment Rebate

The Irrigation and Landscape assessment is a basic assessment of residential and commercial irrigation systems and landscapes that will assess your irrigation system and landscape and provide recommendations on how to make it more water efficient.

PLEASE NOTE: Assessments will be conducted with appropriate social distancing measures in place and results will be communicated via phone or email.

How to Qualify

• Sign up for a free Irrigation and Landscape Assessment. A member of the Irrigation Industry Association of BC will contact you to arrange a suitable time to do a half an hour assessment of your landscape and irrigation system if you have one.
• Once the assessment is complete, you will be required to enter the plants and soil you plan on buying into the BC Landscape Water Calculator to determine your water budget. If it meets the budget you will be approved for a rebate, where you can then purchase materials and complete the Irrigation System and Landscape Water Efficiency Program application form. 

PLEASE NOTE: Budget is limited. Rebates are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The waterwise landscape component of the program will provide a $250 rebate on waterwise plants, mulch and/or soil amendments with good quality compost providing that $500 or more is spent by the homeowner and 50% of the landscape is replaced with waterwise materials.

How to Qualify

• Sign up for a free assessment. Staff from the Irrigation Industry Association of BC will do an assessment and prequalify your landscape for a rebate.
• Once approved for a rebate, review the Details and Rebate Application. An inspection may be required of the completed site prior to payment being made. The application deadline for rebates is October 31 and work must be completed by November 30.
