Indoor Rebates
March is a month dedicated to fixing leaks! In partnership with the EPA’s Fix-a-Leak Week, we want to help you save water and money. Leaks could be wasting up to 180 gallons of water a week in your home. Here are some ways to get started:
- Learn how to check for and fix leaks here.
- Find us in Big Sky the week of March 18-22 passing out free resources to make your home leak-free and water-wise. Find us at the Post Office, Ace Hardware, and BASE! See times and locations here.
- Limited time Rebate: Until April 30, show proof of your fixed leak and we’ll reimburse up to $100. See application and qualifications below.
The Task Force offers cash rebates to Big Sky community members who prioritize water conservation in their homes and businesses. Rebate amounts and qualifications vary (see table below for details). Most large retailers (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) are knowledgeable and will have their products clearly labeled. You can also find a qualifying model, using the Product Search on the WaterSense® page, and Energy Star’s Product Finder.
