Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) Residential Rebate Program

The Board of Trustees has recently allocated additional funds to the Town of Bennett's Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) Rebate Program.

Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV) are a type of valve installed in a plumbing system to regulate water pressure and potentially reduce water waste. Pressure reducing valves can save water by automatically reducing the incoming water pressure from the Town street mains and provide a lower, more functional pressure in the home to match fixture and appliance ratings.


High pressure causes undue wear on pipes and fixtures in a home. It can also waste water. Most homes built within the last two decades already include PRV’s for several reasons. First, the individual PRV provides a level of insurance against variable water pressures in the municipal system, thus creating a level of insurance and protection for internal plumbing. Second, the current plumbing codes require PRV’s on homes where the municipal system exceed 80 pounds per square inch of pressure.

The Town Water System

The water system in Bennett is managed by the Town. In Bennett, as in other communities, the municipal system delivers pressurized water in pipes to homes that are located at various elevations. In the past 10 years the Town decommissioned the previous elevated water storage tank and built the half-million gallon elevated water storage tank. This new tank helps increase water pressure throughout the Town of Bennett.


As a Town-wide system improvement, the Town will be moving operationally to a one-pressure zone system. A one-pressure zone system will enhance the efficiency and reliability of the Town’s water system while also reducing maintenance of the Town’s water distribution system.


To move to a one-pressure zone system, installations of pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) on certain individual existing water services will be recommended for Bennett residents. The Town of Bennett Utilities team will prepare to make the pressure zone switch by September 2026.

PRV Rebate Program

In order to help residents, install PRV for their homes and ensure their plumbing will be safe when the one-pressure zone system comes on line, the town will be offering a rebate program for PRV’s installed with a permit for homes in eligible neighborhoods.


  • Maximum rebate is $550 Per Water Account.
  • An application must be filled out for each unit if each unit has a separate water account.
  • Residences must not have an existing PRV installed, or the existing PRV must be greater than 20 years old.
  • Maximum rebate is $550 per water account for parts and/or labor. Tax is not included.
  • Limit one per household for the life of the house.
  • Customers must consider carefully any recommendations about changing the water pressure inside the home. The Town of Bennett is not responsible for any problems that might occur with reducing the water pressure. Future replacement or repair of the PRV is the property owner’s responsibility.
  • The PRV must pass inspection following installation.
  • The permit fee for this project can be waived.
  • A Homeowner is allowed to pull their own permit if they are performing the work. Be aware the rebate will only count towards material costs and will not be reimbursed for labor in this case.
  • To qualify for the rebate, the installation must also include an expansion valve or expansion tank as part of the home’s plumbing system.
