Yes. Austin Water currently lists a pool-cover rebate of up to $200 to help reduce evaporation and chemical use, subject to the program's eligibility and application rules.
Check the program before buying
Use Austin Water's current rebate application to confirm that your water provider, property and proposed cover qualify. The published maximum is not a promise that every purchase will receive that amount.
Choose for the job you need
Ask the builder to distinguish evaporation control, convenience and safety in the proposal. CPSC's barrier guide discusses power safety covers that meet the applicable safety-cover standard; do not assume every cover sold to save water is a safety device.
Questions for the quote
Make the cover a defined part of the pool design.
- What product and operating system are included?
- Is safety certification being claimed, and where is it documented?
- Where will the cover be stored or housed when open?
- Who checks rebate eligibility and supplies the purchase paperwork?
When to call a builder
Discuss cover space and access while the pool and deck are still on paper. Call to be connected with an independent local pool builder. Ask Austin Water about rebate eligibility and the City about the barrier requirements for your project.
Questions
Is the rebate automatically $200?
No. That is the published maximum; the current program rules determine eligibility and payment.
Is a water-saving cover automatically a safety cover?
No. Ask for the specific product's safety documentation and confirm the required pool barriers separately.
