Chanhassen, MN
Home MenuWaterWise Water Conservation Program
Overview
The WaterWise Program helps residents, business owners, and organizations reduce water usage throughout Chanhassen. Water use has continued to rise each year within the city, partly due to increased population and partly due to increased demand in general. The highest use occurs in the summer when thousands of irrigation systems are pumping drinking water to spray on lawns. This puts unneeded stress on the aquifers we draw from and costs taxpayers as extra wells and systems are built to meet the demand for water during peak times. The WaterWise Program offers educational opportunities and incentives to reduce water usage at home and at work. Saving water at home saves you money.
City and County Rebates
New this Spring 2026, Carver County's Smart Water Program can be used in combination with the city's rebate program.
Carver County participates in the Rachio, Inc. Redemption Program to provide smart irrigation controllers to residents at reduced costs. Reducing water used for irrigation preserves our groundwater, which is where all Carver County residents get drinking water, and reduces stormwater runoff caused by overwatering.
