, Fla. — Replacing an older bathroom fixture or upgrading a sprinkler controller could help Seminole County Utilities customers save water—and get money back on their utility bills.

The county has reopened its Water Conservation Rebate Program for qualifying water-efficient upgrades purchased on or after Oct. 1, 2026. The county recently announced the purchase date and eligible products.

Eligible upgrades include:

  • Smart irrigation controllers.
  • Toilets using less than 1.28 gallons per flush.
  • Showerheads using less than 2 gallons per minute.
  • Faucets using less than 1.5 gallons per minute.

During the program’s last round, customers replaced dozens of items with more water-efficient fixtures. Those changes helped save an estimated 1.2 million gallons of water annually.

Eligibility and application information is available here.

For households already planning a bathroom update or an irrigation upgrade, the rebates offer another reason to consider water-saving options.

The program is for Seminole County Water Utility customers installing qualifying products in their homes. Residents should check that they are customers of the county utility before planning a purchase around a rebate.

Rebates are available while program funding lasts.
