Save our Water: A California Turf replacement initiative....

Save our Water:  CA Turf replacement rebates up to $2000.

California Department of Water Resources (DWR) is now offering a rebate program for removing turf and replacing it with landscapes that require little water.

The program will rebate up to $2 per square foot of turf removed with a maximum rebate of $2,000.00 per household (* Rebate availability and $ amount eligibility per square foot depends on your location and water agency.) to view terms and conditions, verify eligibility, and apply please visit:

www.SaveOurWaterRebates.com

To accomplish the process consists of the Simple Steps:

Step One:

1.        Submit the application at  www.SaveOurWaterRebates.com
2.        Receive your reservation approval to begin the conversion project.
3.        Start and complete your Turf Replacement project per the guidelines.

Step Two:

1.        Complete the rebate application at  www.SaveOurWaterRebates.com for review.
2.        Receive your rebate approval notice.
3.        Receive your rebate check!

Now keep in mind these rebates are available for California single-family residences only. This is not just a Los Angeles County program this is a California State sponsored program hence the amount of eligibility per square foot depends on your location and water agency. This was thanks to Prop1 The Water Bond Initiative of 2014.

There are a few Specific terms & Conditions I am not going to list all but please consider these as important:

1.Turf may be living or dead at the time of application for a reservation. Bare earth areas with no sign of turf are not eligible.

2. The rebated portion of the converted landscapes may only include low water use ie.: drought-tolerant or California native plants. The Water Use Classification of Landscape Species list (http://ucanr.edu/sites/WUCOLS/ ) or local plants lists may be used to make this selection.

3. One key exception is that the rebated portion of the converted landscape may also include food-producing trees, shrubs, vines and perennial plants.

4. Turf replacement and landscape conversion must be completed within 120 days of application approval.
