Professional Rachio 3 install for Firestone water customers. Net cost as low as $350 after rebates.
Firestone does not currently run a smart-controller rebate program, but the long-term water savings from a Rachio (typically 20–30% on outdoor water use) usually pay back the install in 2–3 seasons.

Firestone water context. Firestone's water supply is in transition. The Central Weld County Water District contract ends in August 2028, and the Town is actively securing alternative sources. Water efficiency will become increasingly important as this plays out.
What a smart controller actually does. A Rachio 3 replaces your existing sprinkler timer with a Wi-Fi-connected controller that pulls live local weather and skips watering before rain, freeze, or high winds. It also adjusts run times across the season — so you're not watering a July schedule in May. On a typical home, that's 8,000–15,000 gallons saved every year.
Firestone soil note. Clay to sandy-loam mix. Firestone sits on the eastern plains side of I-25, where soils trend slightly sandier than foothills communities. Expansive clay is still present in many areas.
How Trailhead handles it. We bring the right Rachio 3 model for your zone count, mount it, swap the wiring from your old controller (no rerunning sprinkler valve wires), set up the app on your phone, and program your zones together with you before we leave. Most installs take 60–90 minutes.
Firestone doesn't currently run a smart-controller rebate program. The savings come from reduced outdoor water use — typically 20–30% per year on a Front Range home (about 8,000–15,000 gallons saved annually).
If you have a property in nearby Erie, Longmont, Louisville, or Lafayette, those cities do run rebate programs you may be eligible for at that address.
