Deemed Measure and Rebate Details

The SW WISE Program provides financial rebates to offset the cost of replacing or upgrading to high-efficiency equipment. Water/Wastewater pumping customers that install eligible, “prescriptive” energy-efficiency measures (energy-saving technology) are eligible for a pre-determined rebate for each measure installed if they meet all Program requirements.

Customers wishing to receive rebates must submit a project application through the rebate offering process for installation of eligible energy-efficiency measure(s). The program cycle began January 1, 2023 and ends on December 31, 2027. Applications are accepted throughout the program cycle. Rebates can only be paid for measures installed within the program enrollment cycle.

The following deemed measures are available as part of the Program.
