Rebates to open on May 5, 2025 for Residential and Commercial 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.

Why Rebates?

Scottsdale Water is committed to a permanent reduction in water usage while also keeping in mind the Scottsdale General Plan 2035 goals on water efficiency. 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.

Newest Offerings + WaterSmart

Continuing this year, Scottsdale is offering 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 continues to install 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.
