Outdoor Conservation Programs & Rebates
Through outdoor conservation programs such as our WaterSaver Landscape rebates and educational programs that reach out to all San Antonians, we want to encourage citizens to conserve, saving you money on your water bill while preserving our precious water supplies.
WaterSaver Home Checkup
Hear that? That's the sound of your money going down the drain. Not to mention the thousands of gallons of water being wasted because of household leaks.
7 Steps to Xeriscaping
Xeriscaping. What in the world does that word mean and how on Earth do you pronounce it?
WaterSaver Landscape Rebate
Create a WaterSaver Landscape and enjoy a lot of color while saving a lot of green.
Irrigation Design Rebate
Through our Residential Irrigation Design Rebate you can identify design flaws that can result in healthier landscapes.
Swimming Pool Filter Rebate
Replacing your sand or D.E. filter with a high-efficiency cartridge filter system can reduce your water consumption by as much as 20,000 gallons per year.
Rainwater Harvesting
A house with a 1,000-square-foot roof can yield about 600 gallons of rainwater from just 1 inch of rainfall. That's a lot of water!
Watering Efficiently
Year-round, landscape watering is allowed before 10 a.m. and after 8 p.m. every day. Watering by hand-held hose or with a 5-gallon bucket is allowed any time; however, water waste is prohibited at all times.
