SAWS WaterSaver Landscape Coupons offer rebates when Bexar County customers replace high-water turf with drought-tolerant beds. Participation is voluntary, but the Edwards Aquifer reliance makes the program a major regional water tool.
San Antonio Water System runs the WaterSaver Landscape Coupons program for residential customers across its Bexar County service area. Customers who attend a workshop and replace at least 200 square feet of healthy turf with approved drought-tolerant plants and mulch can receive coupons redeemable at participating nurseries. The program complements year-round watering restrictions and reduces draw on the Edwards Aquifer, sole drinking water source for most of the region. Bexar County residents on other utilities should check whether their water supplier offers similar programs. There is no county ordinance compelling turf removal; the policy lever is rebates and education.
Submitting a fraudulent rebate application or removing the new landscape early can require coupon repayment and disqualification from future SAWS programs.
