Water Smart Landscapes Rebate (from www.snwa.com)

The Water Smart Landscapes rebate helps property owners convert water-thirsty grass to desert landscaping, a lush yet water-efficient landscape.

SNWA will rebate customers $1.50 per square foot of grass removed and replaced with desert landscaping up to the first 5,000 square feet converted per property, per year. Beyond the first 5,000 feet, SNWA will provide a rebate of $1 per square foot.

The maximum award for any property in a fiscal year is $300,000. Certain restrictions apply to well owners. For more information, including terms and requirements, view the program conditions.

All Southern Nevada water customers are assigned mandatory watering groups. While in the summer, water customers may irrigate landscapes any day of the week, landscape irrigation is limited to assigned days during the other seasons.

In the spring and fall, irrigation is allowed on three assigned days per week. In the winter, irrigation is limited to one assigned day per week.

Watering restrictions also apply to drip irrigation. Find your watering group.
