WaterSaver Landscape Rebate
WaterSaver Landscapes are lush and green, full of color and texture, providing
an interesting retreat for humans and wildlife alike,
while contributing to solutions in water conservation efforts.
WaterSaver Landscape Rebate Requirements:
- The entire landscape must meet the requirements.
- No more than 50% of the landscape may be planted
in turf. Turf can be Bermuda, buffalo
or zoysia varieties only (no St. Augustine).
- A minimum of 4” of soil
must be present under turf.
- Shrubs and flowers must be selected from an extensive
plant list approved by SAWS.
- If a
permanent irrigation
system is installed it must pass
a free Irrigation
Check-up performed
by SAWS to receive a rebate.
- A minimum of one shade tree selected from an
approved
tree
list for lots
less than 6,000 sq. ft and
two shade trees in larger lots are
required. With any luck
you'll
have existing trees
on
your
lot.
They
count, protect
them
if
you
can.
- No
more than 5% of your landscape
may be planted in annuals or
unapproved plants (including vegetables).
