Water Conservation Incentive Program ends September 15th

The Hernando County Utilities Department has announced that time is running short for customers to take advantage of two water conservation incentive programs – the Rain Sensor Installation Program and the Low Flow Toilet Replacement Program.

The Rain Sensor Installation Program promotes residential outdoor water conservation by offering a $50 water bill credit for customers who have a rain sensor installed to their irrigation system. Participants must be a Hernando County Utilities Department water or water/sewer customer who irrigate with county supplied water, the home and the irrigation system must be older than 2001, and the new rain sensor must be installed by one of the participating irrigation contractors.
Call the Utilities Department to see if you qualify and to get the list of participating irrigation contractors.

In an effort to further promote water conservation in Hernando County homes, HCUD is offering a $100 water bill credit for replacing older toilets (high gallon per flush) with new water efficient toilets (1.6 gallon per flush). Participants must be Hernando County Utilities Department water or water/sewer customers, the home must be older than 1994, and the new water efficient toilet must be installed by one of the participating plumbing contractors. Call the Utilities Department to see if you qualify and to get a list of participating plumbing contractors.

Both programs will end September 15, 2012. For more information, call (352) 754-4705 or email: waterconservation@co.hernando.fl.us
