WaterWise Landscape and Irrigation Design Rebate Form

The City of Corinth offers an Irrigation Design rebate for those ready to make a permanent structural change to their irrigation systems resulting in long-term water savings by kicking the irrigation habit completely through permanently disabling their irrigation system or through targeted changes to the system that result in incremental water savings.

The City of Corinth will offer a rebate for residential WaterWise Landscaping by encouraging water conservation through ‘best practices’ in landscaping:

  •  The installation of micro-irrigation systems to existing lawns and/or shrubs and flowerbeds including systems which detect rainfall and employ water delay features
  •  The installation (or conversion) of grass areas to xeriscape landscaping consisting of native/adapted plants and non-living, pervious xeriscape surfaces.

Water customers can experience major water savings while achieving an attractive landscape. Other benefits include healthier lawns, shrubs and plants, less maintenance and significantly less water consumption.

Irrigation Design Criteria:

  • Disabling entire irrigation system
  • Capping a zone
  • Converting a pop up spray zone to drip/bubblers
  • Splitting a zone to beds and turf
