5 <br />Winter 2022 <br />Water Rebate Program <br />The City of Lake Elmo, in partnership with the Metropolitan <br />Council, is offering a rebate program for the purchase of <br />eligible WaterSense Toilets and Smart Irrigation Controllers. <br />Qualifying toilet purchases are eligible for a $100 rebate on <br />your water bill, and purchases of a Smart Controller device <br />are eligible for a rebate of 90% of the cost of the device <br />(up to $200). <br />Since 2020, the program accounted for over $13,000 in rebates <br />and the installed water saving devices are estimated to reduce <br />water usage by over 800,000 gallons annually! That’s enough <br />water to fill the Fire Department Tender Truck over 400 times! <br />This program is available only to City drinking water customers, <br />to participate in either rebate, purchase and install a qualifying <br />device, complete a rebate form and turn in your form and a copy <br />of your receipt. Upon approval, a credit will be applied to your <br />water bill.

Keeping hydrants clear of <br />snow can substantially reduce the time it takes firefighters to put out a <br />fire. <br />• According to City Ordinances, homeowners are responsible for removing <br />all snow and ice from public side-walks in front of their homes within (48) <br />hours after a snowfall. Failure to do so could result in injury to the public <br />as well as a violation of City ordinances
