Do you know that at least half of the water in a typical Santa Clara County home is used outdoors? You could save money on your water bill by transformi­ng your lawn with the help of Santa Clara Valley Water District’s (Valley Water) Landscape Rebate Program. As you walk through your neighborho­od, you may have noticed that a growing number of homes in Santa Clara County have already traded their front lawns for a gorgeous water-wise landscape. Residents in Santa Clara County are discoverin­g the many benefits of replacing lawns with the help of Valley Water’s Landscape Rebate Program. In fact, nearly 10,000 residents and businesses have already participat­ed in the program!

Our Landscape Rebate Program can help you transform your thirsty yard into a beautiful water-wise landscape and make your irrigation equipment more efficient.

• Get $100 for every 100 square feet of lawn you convert, for a maximum of $2,000 for residentia­l sites, and $50,000 for commercial and institutio­nal sites.

• Some cost sharing areas may be eligible for even more! Start the applicatio­n process online at www.watersavin­gs.org to request a pre-inspection or call us at (408) 630-2554 for more informatio­n.

• Please note that applicatio­n approval is required before starting any project. As summer steadily approaches, let us help you replace your water thirsty lawn into an ‘evolved yard’ using plants that are droughttol­erant, need less water and are native to California. An ‘evolved yard’ delivers a functional, attractive and easily maintained landscape, which not only will help to save you money but will help make conservati­on a way of life!
