Reminder: Protect Your Property with the Town of Edson’s Backflow and Sump Pump Rebate Program

Now in its third year, the Town of Edson’s Sanitary Sewer Backflow Installation Program continues to offer homeowners important financial support to help protect their properties from flooding and sewer backups.

Launched in 2023 and expanded in 2024, the program now includes a 50% rebate for both:

• Backflow prevention devices for sanitary sewer systems (gravity-based only)

• Sump pump systems that discharge water outside your home

These upgrades are vital in helping prevent future water damage, especially during heavy rain and ground saturation events.

Program Highlights

• 50% reimbursement on eligible installations
• Applies to both sewer backflow preventers and sump pumps
• Funding available on a first-come, first-served basis
• Town inspection and approval required prior to installation
• Reimbursement issued after proof of payment

Please note: This program applies to gravity-flow systems only, not lift station setups.
