Conservation Programs - San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District

Irrigation Controller Retrofit Program

The District offers an outdoor Irrigation Controller Retrofit Program that provides qualified residents with a FREE irrigation inspection, irrigation controller and spray nozzles. The District has contracted with WaterWise Consulting, Inc. to manage the program. If eligible, WaterWise will replace your old irrigation timer with a new weather-based irrigation controller installed by a landscape professional.

Since January 2022, over 400 sites have been assessed and over 350 weather-based “smart” controllers have been installed. The approximate cost/value per landscape to date is $2,100.
