In January 2023, the Wichita City Council approved $100,000 for the 2023 Water Conservation Rebate Program.
As of Feb. 6, the City of Wichita states they have approved rebates for items totaling $7,839.82, leaving a remaining $92,160.18 worth of funds.
The Water Conservation Rebate Program covers items in categories such as:
Clothes Washer
Dishwasher
Dual Flush Converter Kit
Rain Barrel
Rain Sensor Shutoff
Showerhead (News in 2023)
Smart Irrigation Controller
Toilet
Any items purchased after Jan. 1, 2023, will be considered for the rebate, according to the City. You can review a list of qualified purchases and fill out the application online by clicking here.
If rebate funds are exhausted on or before Oct. 31, 2023, the City Council says they have approved additional funds up to $25,000 for the 2023 rebate program.
Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple tweeted Tuesday that there was a gap in the funding for those who participated in last year’s Water Conservation Rebate Program from November through December.
“Basically, folks bought water conservation items, turned in their receipts, but we’re denied the rebate due to funding,” Mayor Whipple tweeted. “I’m happy to report that the @CityofWichita City Council voted to use funds form this yrs program to apply retroactively to Nov 23rd of last yr. So if you bought a qualified item at the end of last yr & was denied due to funds, please re-apply so we can get you taken care of!”
