After submitting your application, we will visit the property to determine whether it meets eligibility requirements, including having live grass and an active irrigation system. We will measure the proposed conversion areas. For business, HOA, and multifamily properties, if the conversion area exceeds ¼-acre (10,890 square feet), you must secure written approval from the local jurisdiction's planning department as an eligibility condition.

For business, HOA and multifamily properties, if the conversion area is greater than ¼-acre in size (10,890 square feet), you must secure written approval from the local jurisdiction's planning department as a condition of eligibility. Email approval is sufficient, and we will make the planning department aware of your pending request so they know to expect it.

Now it's time to get the work done. You must finish your conversion within 12 months to take advantage of the rebate program. You can also supply copies of purchase receipts and contractor invoices to prove that all parts and labor are purchased through certified vendors or licensed contractors. If you need additional time, the SNWA may grant an extension of up to 90 days upon request and at its discretion.

Notify us when you've completed your conversion. We will inspect the landscape (usually within 10 business days) to ensure it meets program conditions including a drip irrigation system, proper canopy coverage, etc. We'll also verify the area eligible for the rebate, in case the size differs from what was described at the beginning of the process.

If program conditions are not met, the remainder of the 12-month completion period or 60 days (whichever is greater) will be provided to take corrective action.

Following a successful post-conversion site inspection, a conservation easement must be signed and returned by the homeowner or property representative.

The easement is intended to prevent you from reinstalling grass, converting the area to a swimming pool, etc. and commits you to either maintaining the conversion in perpetuity or reimbursing the SNWA the full amount of the incentive plus administrative fees.

Once the easement is recorded with Clark County, you can expect to receive a rebate check in the mail within 10 business days. This check will be for the amount of the local government-approved rebate. The SNWA Rebate Conversion program helps offset some of the costs associated with water usage, making it easier and more affordable to access clean and safe drinking water. You can rest assured that they contribute to a healthier environment while saving money on your monthly bills.
