2. 2

   Complete the pre-conversion site visit

   SNWA or the participating utility will send an inspector to measure the existing grass, verify the area qualifies, and confirm the planned drip irrigation design. Removing grass before the site visit disqualifies the project. After the visit, you will receive approval to proceed.

3. 3

   Remove grass and install SNWA-approved xeriscape with drip irrigation

   After the site visit approval, remove the qualifying grass and install the drip irrigation system (with filters and low-flow emitters), SNWA-approved desert plants, and decomposed granite or other approved ground cover. At least 50% of the area must be covered by plants at maturity. Photograph before and after and keep all receipts.

   • Approval confirmation from SNWA
   • Drip irrigation components with filters and low-flow emitters
   • Before-and-after photographs
   • Plant and material receipts

   Request post-conversion inspection and receive combined rebate

   After completing the project, contact SNWA to schedule the post-conversion inspection. The inspector will measure the converted area, verify plant coverage and drip irrigation. After approval, LVVWD customers receive the combined $7/sq ft (or $4.50/sq ft above 10,000 sq ft). Payment is issued per the standard program timeline.
