Residential Irrigation Assessments
Snowmass Water and Sanitation District, Summer 2024
Residential Irrigation Assessments are available to help Snowmass Water and Sanitation District customers improve the irrigation efficiency at their property. The following information applies to single family residences. Please contact the District about multi-family and commercial options.
Irrigation Analysis will be providing professional irrigation assessments for select Snowmass Water and Sanitation District customers in 2024. The company brings broad experience in the irrigation industry, and has worked with the City of Aspen and across the Roaring Fork Valley for several years. The goal of these assessments is to help property owners reduce their water use while still achieving excellent landscape performance.
Irrigation Analysis will conduct a comprehensive on-site analysis of your irrigation system and generate a complete report with recommended upgrades to your system. The recommendations are prioritized based on effectiveness and cost. You are not required to make any changes, though you are encouraged to read the report thoroughly and consider making improvements to improve efficiency.
You do not need to be present for the site visit. Please make sure there is clear access to the irrigation controller. You may want to have someone who is knowledgeable and responsible for the property present at the site visit to better understand the scope and recommendations.
How does this work? (Fees, Reimbursements and the Fine Print):
Fee: The fee for the irrigation assessment is $350 and will be billed to your Snowmass Water and Sanitation District account. It will appear on your next monthly water bill.
Reimbursement*: You will be eligible for reimbursements for irrigation equipment efficiency upgrades (EPA WaterSense approved nozzles, rain sensors, weather-based controllers etc) based on the irrigation assessment. All reimbursements will be for equipment purchased at reasonable retail price, excluding installation, and will appear as a credit on your water bill.
- Upon completion of the irrigation assessment and subsequent efficiency upgrades, you will be reimbursed for the full amount of any equipment purchased up to $350.
- For additional equipment purchased above $350, you will be eligible for a dollar-for-dollar match from the District for up to another $750 of reimbursement. This means that for every dollar you spend above $350, the District will contribute a dollar, enabling you to purchase $2 worth of equipment, and so on, up to a maximum additional $750 reimbursement from the District.
- The total reimbursement amount on your account is capped at $1100 ($350+$750).
- In the event your system needs less than $350 of equipment upgrades, Snowmass Water and Sanitation District will reimburse you the full $350 after any recommended upgrades are completed.
All future water savings = money you keep and water savings that benefit all!
