summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
Since 2005, The Utilities Department has partnered with Broward County to offer water conservation programs to our customers through the NatureScape Irrigation Services (NIS) Program and the Residential Irrigation Rebate (RIR) Program. Both programs are key initiatives that support long-term water conservation and sustainability.
? The NIS Program targets large municipal and commercial sites, providing irrigation system inspections to identify operational efficiencies, maintenance issues, and opportunities for upgrades. The program supports compliance with consumptive use permits and the EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) while promoting permanent, measurable water savings and a conservation ethic among municipalities and businesses.
? The RIR Program serves residential customers in partner municipalities. It provides irrigation system efficiency inspections, water conservation education, and financial rebates to help offset costs for upgrading to water-efficient components. The goal is to encourage permanent water savings and sustainable irrigation practices in residential landscapes.
