To preserve the natural beauty of our Utah landscape by
conserving water, the State Legislature enacted a bill to provide up to $3 per
square foot for xeriscaping residential lawns. Sixty percent of residential water use goes towards outdoor irrigation. To
encourage the use of waterwise plants and landscape principles, the state is
incentivizing the replacement of lawn with waterwise landscaping through Utah
Water Savers.
The
Division of Water Resources has partnered with Central Utah, Jordan Valley,
Washington County and Weber Basin Water Conservancy Districts to increase
program awareness and funding. The water districts will operate the landscape
incentive program within their service areas and the division will operate
throughout the rest of the state. Landscape rebates will be available in any
area of the state that has adopted qualifying landscape ordinances.
