LCRA Commercial, Institutional and Industrial Water Conservation Rebates
The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) offers WaterSmart Rebates for businesses, industries, schools, hospitals, churches and other institutions in LCRA’s water service area.
You qualify for WaterSmart Rebates if you receive water from one of these LCRA water customers.
Install water-savings technology, such as rainwater harvesting, cooling tower recycling, or commercial ice machines, and receive a rebate of 50 percent of cost, up to $20,000. To qualify for the WaterSmart Rebate, a water audit is required but, you can qualify for a water audit rebate as well up to $125 per hour for outdoor audits (not to exceed $2,000), or up to $125 per hour for indoor and outdoor audit (not to exceed $5,000). LCRA staff approval of the water audit rebate is required.
IWS offers these water audits. Call us at 512-490-0932 to schedule a water audit by the IWS engineering staff.
Schedule a consultation and we can help you make sense of all the requirements. As part of our installation service, we will provide all of the documentation necessary to complete the rainwater harvesting system rebate application.
