Residential Grass Removal Rebate Closed on Oct. 31, 2022

This rebate received extraordinary participation this program year. Scottsdale Water is excited residents are converting grass to an Arizona-friendly landscape. This rebate will reopen next season. During the winter months, Bermuda grass is dormant, making it difficult to properly remove.

How to prepare for qualifying for the next rebate season

Dormant Bermuda requires minimal water - only about ½” of water per month to keep the stolons (lower part of grass stem) from drying out. When weather warms again, Bermuda comes out of dormancy, marking an opportune time to remove it. Grass must be maintained even if a rebate is planned. Per ordinance, ALL removal rebates require a pre-inspection before the grass is removed.

 

Do not start the removal process before the program reopens. Scottsdale Water cannot guarantee rebate requirements, eligibility, or amount for the grass removal rebate until July 1, 2023.

Why rebates?

Scottsdale Water is committed to a permanent reduction in water usage while also keeping in mind the Scottsdale General Plan 2035 and principles of sustainability. Rebates are evaluated each year for efficacy and performance and are tailored to the highest water uses in the Scottsdale Water service area. By incentivizing efficiency, Scottsdale Water aims to conserve its water supply while also preserving the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert.

New Offerings + WaterSmart

New this year, Scottsdale added the Smart Home Water Monitor and the Water Management and Efficiency Technology rebates, designed so customers can be more efficient at monitoring and managing their water use in real or near-real time. This technology is especially helpful in identifying leaks, which waste both water and money and potentially cause costly infrastructure damage to homes, buildings, sidewalks and/or streets.

Did you know Scottsdale Water is installing Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology? With AMI, customers can dive deeper into their water use by logging into the new WaterSmart portal, available through your Online Utility Account. When available, customers may also be able to set leak alerts and view hourly data. Sign up for WaterSmart and see if hourly use is available in your area.
