Corpus Christi Water offers rebates for converting irrigated turf to drought-tolerant landscape and for installing efficient irrigation, encouraging xeriscape conversion to reduce demand on Lake Corpus Christi during recurring droughts.
The water utility runs an outdoor conservation program providing rebates for high-efficiency irrigation upgrades, smart controllers, and rain sensors. Rebates for full turf replacement to native and adapted plant landscapes are smaller than in Texas Hill Country cities but still available for residential customers. Approved plant lists emphasize natives like Gulf muhly, lantana, and Texas sage adapted to coastal alkaline soils and salt spray. Inspections verify post-installation performance before rebate payment. The program complements Stage 2 and Stage 3 drought rules by structurally lowering peak summer irrigation demand.
No penalty for not participating. Rebate clawback may apply if a customer removes the converted landscape, returns to high-water turf, or fails to maintain installed irrigation efficiency equipment within program-required timeframes.
