Residential Rebates

Every wasteful old toilet you replace with a slick, WaterSense-labeled, 1.1 gallons per flush or less model, and every old sprinkler head you replace with a straight-shooting rotary nozzle, brings us all one step closer to securing our water future well into the future.

To help you help us all by becoming more efficient with your water, we’re offering to pick up part of the tab for certain, higher-efficiency models.

Rebates are available to customers who receive a water bill from Denver Water or one of these qualifying water providers.

Rebate Application

Why no “Cash for Grass?”

Denver Water is seeing significant progress in reducing outdoor water use as the region grows denser, landscape irrigation practices becomes more efficient and property owners take steps on their own to transform landscapes by using more climate-appropriate plants and grasses and cutting back on turf areas.

Cash for grass is a more cost-effective approach in hotter regions, where irrigation occurs year-round. We see efficiency programs, conservation, partnerships and education, at least for now, as the best practice for the Denver region.

Denver Water is in the process of creating long-term programs to address customer needs and help remove barriers so that changing residential yards to ColoradoScape is more accessible for all.
