In Utah, 60% of residential water consumption is dedicated to outdoor irrigation. In an effort to promote water-efficient plants and landscaping practices, the state is offering incentives to residents who opt to replace traditional lawns with water-wise landscaping through the Utah Water Savers program.
Grass Doesn’t Belong Everywhere
Receive compensation for replacing your grass with water-efficient landscaping.
Not only will you increase your yard’s curb appeal, but you will also be able to decrease water use and earn cash while doing so. Restrictions are dependent on the region, but the incentives are available for commercial, residential and industrial properties that currently have living, maintained grass.
