Steps
Confirm the specific controller model is EPA WaterSense-certified, since only WaterSense-certified WBICs qualify for the SoCal Water$mart rebate.
Verify the applicant is the LADWP customer of record listed on the water bill, since rebates are issued only to the account holder.
Install the controller with its required weather sensor/calibrator equipment per manufacturer specifications before submitting the claim.
Submit the rebate application through the official SoCal Water$mart (Metropolitan Water District) website, attaching a recent LADWP water bill and an itemized sales receipt showing brand, model number, individual price, and purchase date.
If also considering a soil moisture sensor system rebate on the same site, confirm the program's stacking rules before applying, since a WBIC rebate cannot be combined with a soil moisture sensor system rebate.
Known gotchas
The rebate is tied to the LADWP account holder of record, not the installing contractor — a contractor submitting on a customer's behalf must use the customer's bill and account information.
WBIC and soil-moisture-sensor-system rebates cannot be combined on the same rebate claim — check current program rules before assuming a customer can stack both incentives.
Rebate amounts and documentation requirements (e.g., itemized receipt fields) are set by the current program terms and can change between funding cycles — verify against the live socalwatersmart.com page rather than a prior year's rebate amount.
