Request Your $1500 Rebate for Water Repairs
The Castle Pines Metropolitan District (CPMD) has initiated a robust, data-driven water efficiency program to provide residences of the Village at Castle Pines (Village) the confidence in the security and sustainability of our water future (Vision 2025). This plan was formally adopted by the CPMD Board on February 4th, 2021 and revised by the CPMD Board on October 4th, 2021. An integral part of the Vision 2025 program is to reduce the Village consumption of water for outdoor irrigation in a thoughtful manner, while retaining the beauty of the Village and quality of life for its residents. As part of the efficiency program, CPMD has hired qualified irrigation management experts that have been conducting irrigation efficiency analyses for each home within the District to clearly identify steps needed to reduce water usage while maintaining current landscaping.
To help offset water conservation expenditures, CPMD is offering a rebate program for all homeowners within the District. The following section contains additional information on the rebate program as well as how you can qualify.
