Educational calculators

Estimate the range. Keep the official line bright.

Model potential turf incentives, annual water reduction, and simple payback using transparent assumptions. Then verify current official terms and obtain a written provider estimate.

Independent referral service. Not SNWA, a utility, government program, or contractor. Information may be shared with one Nevada-licensed provider only with permission.

Calculator 1

Potential turf incentive

Published base rates used: residential $5/sq. ft. for the first 10,000 and $2.50 thereafter; non-single-family $5 for the first 10,000 and $1.50 thereafter. Local and tree additions remain subject to separate official terms.

Calculator 2

Potential annual water reduction

Educational range uses 40–55 gallons per square foot per year. The upper assumption aligns with SNWA’s published example of 825,000 gallons annually for a 15,000-square-foot business conversion.

Calculator 3

Simple project payback

Simple payback excludes maintenance changes, financing, tax effects, escalation, permit/design costs, and property-specific utility rate structures.

Calculator disclosure: Educational estimates only. Results depend on user inputs and assumptions and are not a quote, bid, engineering calculation, eligibility decision, or promise of savings or rebate payment. Official program terms, inspections, funding, rates, and written provider estimates control.
