Make improvements to your current irrigation
system and receive a rebate to help cover the cost.

Through our Commercial Irrigation Design Rebate, SAWS conservation consultants will work with your irrigator to help identify design flaws in your irrigation system that, if changed, can result in water savings and healthier landscapes. This rebate is designed to offset a portion of your irrigation system redesign costs.

Who is Eligible:
Existing commercial customers who receive water service from San Antonio Water System. For information on our residential irrigation rebates, click here.

Terms of the Rebate:
A maximum of $3,200 for any combination of options, depending on the number of zones converted or capped, and if irrigation remains at or below a personalized schedule for water use over a one-year period. Only irrigation projects started after June 1, 2010 are eligible for rebates.

All customers approved to receive the first installment of their rebate will be given the final installment if they meet the water use requirements, even if the program is discontinued prior to the final rebate installment.

Procedures to Follow:

1. Submit a brief pre-application to the SAWS Conservation Department.
2. A conservation consultant will be assigned to your project and call you to schedule a site visit. Your irrigator must be present and can make the appointment for you. The same conservation consultant will follow your project throughout the rebate process.
3. Have a licensed irrigator complete the work.
4. Once the installation of the redesigned system has been completed, submit a final rebate application and include information on work performed along with original receipts.
5. Your conservation consultant will conduct a final inspection, including work completed and irrigation controller scheduling.
6. Upon the final inspection and application approval, SAWS will credit your water bill with the initial installment of 25 percent of the total approved rebate.
7. If your water use remains at or below the watering recommendations for a period of one year, the final installment of the remaining 75 percent of the eligible rebate will be applied to your account.
8. You will receive monthly recommendations based on your unique property so you may compare actual water use to SAWS recommendations, which are based on actual weather conditions including any restrictions.

What is eligible? The following may be done on each zone of your system, but the maximum total rebate payment per property is $3,200.
