City offering sprinkler credit

SPOKANE – The city of Spokane is offering its residential water customers up to a $375 water bill credit to upgrade to a new or existing automatic sprinkler system with new smart controls.

Water consumption during the outdoor watering season jumps dramatically and most summer water consumption is associated with watering lawns. Smart controls will automatically determine the correct amount of water needed for current conditions, preventing over and under watering.
