Phoenix Water Conservation Incentives: What to Check Before Replacing Grass or Fixtures

Phoenix homeowners planning a water-saving project should check the City of Phoenix Water Services incentive pages before buying materials or scheduling work. The city maintains residential water conservation incentive pages for grass removal, toilets, and smart irrigation controllers, but program details, funding, documentation, and application steps can change.

Projects to screen

• Removing irrigated grass and converting to desert-friendly landscaping.
• Replacing older toilets with qualifying high-efficiency toilets.
• Installing or upgrading to a qualifying smart irrigation controller.
• Combining a landscape project with irrigation repairs or schedule changes.

What to verify first

• Whether the home is served by Phoenix Water and meets the program's residential eligibility rules.
• Whether the project needs approval before demolition, purchase, or installation.
• Which forms, photos, receipts, product labels, or inspections are required.
• Whether incentives are currently funded and accepting applications.
• Whether HOAs, historic districts, or landscape rules affect the project.

Homeowner guide

1. Start with the City of Phoenix residential water conservation incentives page.

2. Open the specific grass removal or toilet / smart controller page for current steps.

3. Save screenshots or PDFs of the current program terms before purchasing.

4. Take before photos if the program requires proof of existing grass, fixtures, or equipment.

5. Keep itemized receipts and product documentation.

6. Submit through the official city pathway only, not through a contractor promise.
