Austin Water Approved Plant List

Austin Water’s approved plant list specifies plants that may receive a new landscape/xeriscape watering schedule variance. A landscape must have xeric (low or very low water use) plants to receive the variance. Austin Water might approve other plants if they will be low or very low water use once established. For a list of stabilization/erosion control plants that qualify for this variance, please refer to The City of Austin’s Standard Specifications Manual Item #604S
