SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Water System is offering coupons for plants as part of its WaterSaver Program.
SAWS residential customers can apply for up to four landscape coupons per year, with a lifetime limit of eight coupons per service account. The coupons are valued at $100 each and can be used to purchase drought-tolerant plants.
You must purchase 15 plants from the approved WaterSaver Coupon list (no substitutions). Small plants must be purchased in 1-gallon containers and small trees in 5-gallon containers, according to SAWS.
Depending on your choice of plants, the $100 discount can vary greatly, so be sure to budget your project accordingly as you will probably still incur some costs.
To qualify for the coupon, customers have to take photos of where they plan to remove at least 200 square feet of grass and install a new garden bed. Customers should then apply online. No permanent irrigation is allowed in the new beds.
Once SAWS approves your application, you will be sent an eCoupon that must be used by Oct. 31. You should receive the coupon within two weeks via email.
Customers who apply for multiple coupons will receive them in separate emails. Each coupon may only be used once with a single vendor. If you receive multiple coupons, you may use each one at different participating vendors.
WaterSaver landscape coupons can be redeemed at four participating retailers across five San Antonio locations.
After you redeem your coupon, you will receive an email with a link to submit photos for inspection. Save that email.
Once you’ve completed your beds, take photos and find the email SAWS sent when you redeemed your coupon. Open the inspection form in the email and attach your photos to that form and send it to SAWS by Nov. 15. Don’t attach photos to the email.
Photos will be reviewed by SAWS and anyone who doesn’t meet the criteria for success will be contacted with ideas on how to make their new gardenscape successful. Customers who don’t make the required improvements will be ineligible for future programs.
