Residents can now save 65% on a Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller through a direct purchase program offered by the City of Folsom in partnership with the Regional Water Authority and other local water providers.
The Rachio 3 Controller acts like a thermostat for your sprinklers, using local weather conditions to adjust how long your sprinklers run. The controller automatically reduces sprinkler runtimes when the weather is cooler and increases them when the temperatures rise. You can also manage the controller from your smartphone with the Rachio app.
It’s estimated that replacing a standard controller with a WaterSense-labeled smart controller like the Rachio 3 can save an average home about 13,500 gallons of water per year.
The Rachio 3 Smart Sprinkler Controller typically retails for about $199 for an eight-zone system but is being offered at a reduced rate of $75, plus tax. Residents will be responsible for installation.
Direct purchases at a reduced rate are available for a limited time on a first-come, first-served basis until funding is exhausted. Customers who purchase a Rachio controller through this program cannot include this cost under any of the other rebate programs offered by the city.
