Custom Technologies

The Water Efficient Technologies program provides financial incentives for capital expenditures when businesses retrofit existing equipment with more water-efficient technologies.

• Custom, consumptive-use technologies can earn a one-time incentive of up to $10 per 1,000 gallons of water saved annually.
  
  
• Nonconsumptive-use technologies can earn up to $2.50 per 1,000 gallons saved annually
  
  
• Lifetime incentive cap per property/rental is $150,000
  
  
• Annual water savings of at least 500,000 gallons must be maintained for at least five years
  
  
• If your business has multiple properties, you may be able to reach that 500,000-gallon qualifying threshold faster: you can pool savings across multiple locations
  
  
• You choose from the new savings "menu" of SNWA-approved, standard technologies

Consumptive-use technologies

Innovations that conserve water not returned to the sanitary sewer (most outdoor-use water). Reducing consumptive-use water extends Southern Nevada's water resources, so SNWA places a premium value on such conservation.

Nonconsumptive-use technologies

Innovations that conserve water returned to the sanitary sewer that has no net resource impact to Southern Nevada (most indoor-use water). SNWA encourages conservation of nonconsumptive-use water to save the community power and infrastructure costs and because it is environmentally responsible.
