Looking for ways to save water and money at your business, restaurant, commercial, or multi-family property? The Portland Water Bureau has a custom water efficiency rebate program that will pay for half of your approved water efficiency project costs up to a maximum of $5,000.

Applying for the rebate is easy but you'll need a few things before you start: 

• Make sure you have discussed your project with Portland water efficiency staff and received approval.
• Your City of Portland sewer, stormwater, water account details.
• Equipment upgrade details or outline of process improvement.
• Project budget details including estimated water savings.
• Copies of receipts for equipment purchased and proof of recycling for equipment that was replaced. 
• A copy of your most recent bill would be helpful, let us know if you need one.
