Residential Rebates

Rebates to open on May 5, 2025 for Residential Water Customers

Rebates have received extraordinary participation in past program years. Scottsdale Water is excited residents and businesses are converting their high-water use landscapes into Arizona-friendly landscapes. Customers are also using rebates to install WaterSense labeled controllers and other water-saving devices. 

Homeowners & Grass Removal

• As the weather warms and Bermuda grass comes out of dormancy, it may be an opportune time to prepare for removal. Make your plans, get your quotes and, if chemical treatment is part of your chosen grass removal process, water your grass so it will begin growing. Herbicides work best on actively growing grass. Leave your grass physically in place, even if it has been chemically sprayed, as the city must measure the existing grass prior to removal. Rebates are based on the measured grass to be removed.
• Do not remove your grass until you receive a written Notice to Proceed from the city. Your application must be submitted on or after May 5, 2025, and after application approval, a Notice to Proceed will be issued. If you are working with a contractor, schedule the removal to start after receiving a Notice to Proceed. It typically takes 4 - 6 weeks, depending on the number of applications submitted, for a Notice to Proceed to be issued.
• For a general reference of the upcoming residential grass removal rebate program requirements and timeframes, you can view the previous application. New program requirements are still being reviewed but are anticipated to be similar to last year's application. 

Notices:

• All applications will be reviewed and accepted in the order they are received; inspections only occur after application review.
• If you are working with a contractor, be sure to plan your project in advance, as we cannot expedite the approval process to accommodate contractor schedules. It's the applicant's responsibility to plan accordingly.
• If you are purchasing a device such as a WaterSense labeled Controller or Smart Home Water Monitor, purchase it on or after May 5, 2025, to qualify for a rebate.
• If you are completing a rebate project from the previous rebate season, send your name, address and supporting documentation to the Water Conservation Office.
