South Jordan City Rebates
South Jordan City, with the support of Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, is providing residents the opportunity to apply for rebate programs that encourage water conservation indoors and outdoors. The South Jordan Water Conservation programs provide rebates once the requirements are met. Grass Removal Rebates require an inspection before any grass is removed.
South Jordan City Water Conservation Rebate Programs are only valid for residents within South Jordan City boundaries.
Utah Water Savers
Other Landscape Incentives and Smart Controller rebates are provided through Utah Water Savers. South Jordan Residents can take advantage of both City Rebates/Programs and Utah Water Savers Incentives. Each program requires a separate inspection to be eligible. City rebate application can be found below. Utah Water Savers (UWS) application can be found on the UWS website link above.
