BACKGROUND
As part of the City of Rosemount’s water conservation efforts, City Council has, over the last
several years, provided an incentive to home owners to install smart irrigation controllers. In
some cases, this incentive was partially funded by the Metropolitan Council with a city fund
match. Additional details were provided in Item 6.a.
This evening a representative from Rachio, a provider of smart irrigation controllers, will be
providing some additional information for the Commission. A review of the irrigation controller
rebates issued for 2020 show that a large majority of those were Rachio.
