How It Works
STEP 1: Review Your Project's Eligibility
Read the rebate agreement and check your eligibility. Customers must be installing a new shut-off valve; replacement shut-offs do not qualify for this rebate. New valves must be ball valves; gate valves are not eligible.
STEP 2: Install the Shut-off Valve
Install the new shut-off valve near the meter so that it can cut off all flow to the property. You may also use a licensed plumber to perform the installation.
STEP 3: Apply for $100 Rebate
Submit your application with 1) a copy of the receipt OR plumber's invoice and 2) a photo of the new valve. Applications must be submitted within 60 days of purchase or invoice. Once approved, you will receive a rebate up to $100 as a credit on your SAWS account. Applications accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Limit 2,000.
