Menu of Pre-approved Water Saving Technologies

All the items listed below have been accepted by the SNWA as water efficient products. The SNWA recognizes that the actual water savings may vary with each individual product, installation configuration and end user.

SNWA has determined that because some technologies produce sufficiently reliable savings estimates, individual performance testing may not be deemed necessary. For such technologies, the incentive may (at SNWA's discretion) be calculated using the established menu table below. The payment will equal the listed maximum incentive amount or 50 percent of the real product costs (excluding labor), whichever is less.

Incentive levels vary based on location of captured water savings (i.e., outdoor, indoor or reuse) as well as the estimated annual savings. SNWA reserves total and final authority in determining the potential water savings for each type of technology and the costs of that technology that are eligible for rebate.

Project Technology Type	Minimum Project Size	Maximum Incentive Available ($ per unit)*
High Efficiency Toilets (HETs) with an average flush volume of no more than 1.28 gpf, tested to flush at least 350 grams, including WaterSense qualified models	145 fixtures	50 percent of the real product costs (excluding labor) Or $25 per fixture, whichever is less Original and retrofit installations for HETs are rebated at the same levels
High Efficiency Urinals with an average flush volume of no more than 0.5 gpf	12 fixtures	50 percent of the real product costs (excluding labor) Or $180 per fixture retrofit ($90 per fixture on original installations), whichever is less
Retrofit currently installed urinals to waterless urinals	6 fixtures	50 percent of the real product costs (excluding labor) Or $360 per fixture retrofit ($180 per fixture on original installations), whichever is less
Retrofit showerheads to models that incorporate an integrated, non-removal flow restrictor with a maximum flow rate no more than 2.0 gallons per minute at 80 PSI. All heads in a room must be retrofit to qualify.	A sufficient combination of retrofit rooms and flow reduction to conserve 250,000 gallons annually	50 percent of the real product costs (excluding labor) Or $25 per room for each 0.5 gpm reduction in flow rate ($12.50 per room for original installations), whichever is less
Conversion of existing turfgrass sporting surfaces to alternative sporting surfaces for sports fields and play surfaces	3,425 square feet minimum converted per facility	50 percent of the real product costs (excluding labor) Or $1.80 per square foot, whichever is less
Retrofit standard cooling tower drift reducers to high efficiency drift elimination technologies (with drift of no more than 0.005 percent of tower flow rate)	500 tons capacity retrofit (may pool savings across multiple facilities)	50 percent of the real product costs (excluding labor) Or $125 per 10 tons capacity, whichever is less
Retrofit water-cooled ice makers on single-pass or open loop systems to air-cooled models*	556 pounds per day capacity retrofit	50 percent of the real product costs (excluding labor) Or $360 per 100 lbs per day capacity, whichever is less
* Additional configurations may qualify, please consult with an SNWA representative.
