Chandler offers rebate programs to assist our customers with improving efficiency and reducing water use. Large landscape users (HOA, multi-family and commercial customers) can save up $75,000 on landscape conversion projects. Single-family residential customers may receive a rebate of $2 per square foot of grass removed. It is important to ensure your conversion plan qualifies based on the program policies. Please check your eligibility before proceeding with grass removal. Any active utility account holder can apply online for these great programs.
Replacing grass lawns with xeriscape (low-water-use) landscapes is one of our most popular rebate programs. Still, the city also provides a 50% rebate for the cost of installing a smart irrigation controller, and offers a new water-efficient technology rebate for Large users (HOA, multi-family and commercial/industrial customers). Chandler also offers Water Conservation Kits to residential customers.

(Multi-family, Homeowner Association & Commercial)
Large Landscape Grass Removal Rebate
Save up to $75,000 for replacing grass with low water use landscape. This is a new program designed to target grass removal in large landscapes. This program will assist multi-family, homeowner associations, and commercial customers with large landscape conversions. The new program will reimburse 25% of the project costs, plus an additional incentive of $3/sq. ft. for the removal of non-functional grass that will yield higher water savings.
Large Landscape Smart Controller Rebate
Save up to $3,000 to install up to five individual controllers or one central control system with at least 100 stations. This program reimburses 50% of the cost up to $3,000 (formerly 50% up to $1,250 for 5 controllers).
Water Efficient Technology Rebate
Save up to $10,000 to install water-efficient technologies that utilize high-resolution data monitoring and system operation alerts/notifications designed to reduce water use (e.g. irrigation systems, cooling towers, water treatment systems). This rebate reimburses 50% of the technology costs up to $10,000.
Plumbing codes in the early 1990s began requiring water conservation fixtures for new homes.
To help Chandler residents whose homes were built prior to the improved standards, Chandler offers free water conservation retrofit kits. The kits contain water conservation fixtures including a water-saving showerhead and three faucet aerators. There is also a toilet displacement bag and a fill cycle diverter.
