## **Utility Redemption Program**

**Rachio proudly participates with utilities and conservation districts in several water saving smart irrigation controller programs.** 

  

This program offers customers of a participating utility or conservation district a discount on the purchase of one (1) Rachio Smart Irrigation Controller. If you are a customer of a participating utility agency, you may be eligible for one (1) discounted Rachio controller. Controllers may be purchased at [rachio.com/redeem](//rachio.com/redeem).

  

Once you enter your customer information and select your participating agency, you will be automatically redirected to a shopping cart. The discount will be automatically applied in the cart. You do not need a discount code from your utility.
