Step 1: See if your property qualifies

To be eligible for the Water Wise Outdoor Survey: 

  • Your property must have at least one valve-operated irrigation zone in order to sign up (see photo).
     
  • Surveys are limited to a ½-acre residential landscapes.
     
  • Single-family residences on larger lots are eligible for a "representative" survey of a portion of their landscaping. The maintenance and upgrade needs in one area of a larger landscape may also be needed elsewhere on the lot. 

Properties that are not eligible include:

  • Homes that irrigate only with a portable sprinkler or hose attachment.
     
  • Non-residential or larger multi-family properties. Learn more about our Large Landscape Program.
     
  • Don't qualify? Check out these easy watering tips from EPA WaterSense.

Note: San Jose Water Company customers should request a CATCH appointment by calling (408) 279-7900 or emailing [email protected]. (Get help finding your water retailer.)

 

You likely qualify if you have irrigation valves like shown.
