The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) is once again offering rebates of up to $10,000 for water-saving improvements, and Winter Springs homeowners’ associations, multifamily property owners, and small utilities are encouraged to apply.

Who Can Apply?
Eligible participants include:
- Local governments
- Small utilities
- Homeowner and property owner associations (HOAs & POAs)
- Private and publicly owned multi-family properties
These projects are designed to restore each pond’s depth, ecological health, and functionality as part of the City’s broader stormwater management strategy.
What’s Covered?
Rebates are available for a variety of indoor and outdoor water conservation improvements, including:
- Florida Water Star℠ certification for new homes
- EPA WaterSense® smart irrigation controllers
- Irrigation system upgrades (switching to high-efficiency or micro-irrigation)
- Irrigation evaluations and timer modifications
- Soil amendments for new landscaping
- Retrofits for toilets, sinks, and showers

Why This Matters for Winter Springs
As Central Florida continues to grow, water conservation is more important than ever. Using less water helps reduce strain on our utility systems and saves money for local families and property owners.
If you’re part of an HOA or manage a multi-family property, this is a great opportunity to make smart, cost-effective upgrades that benefit your residents and the community.
Winter Springs deserves sustainable solutions that work, and this program is one more tool to help us get there.
