Water Efficiency Rebate Program

As of July 7, 2023 there is $26,623.61 left in rebate funds in the grant program.

The Metropolitan Council, through funding from the Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment, has awarded White Bear Township a third water efficiency grant. The goal of the water efficiency grant program is to improve municipal water use. This grant funding has enabled White Bear Township to provide a Water Efficiency Rebate to current water customers who replace existing devices with specified water efficient products through June 30, 2024 or until funds are depleted.

About the Program

Rebates are only available to White Bear Township Water Customers with non-delinquent accounts. The product must be installed at the address listed on the account. A representative of the Township will verify installation of the water efficiency product(s). The product must be purchased between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2024. Expenses eligible for the rebate are the out-of-pocket cost of the product (pre-tax) and its installation only, not to include any owner labor costs. A minimum investment of $75.00 for homeowners or $200 for Commercial / HOA's is required on the Irrigation Audits. The township reserves the right to limit the number of rebates per White Bear Township water account. In addition, new construction and new developments are ineligible, as this program is intended as a current infrastructure replacement program.

The rebate is for 100% of the pretax cost of the item, up to the maximum rebate amount allowed on eligible water efficiency products. A minimum investment of $75.00 for homeowners or $200 for Commercial / HOA's is required on the Irrigation Audits.
