Conservation Tips

With a growing population and limited water resources, it is essential that we maintain meaningful conservation levels. Water is too precious to waste! By doing our part we help the environment, preserve water for future generations, and save money and energy.

This new Metropolitan program rewards landscape designs that incorporate water-saving plants, technology, irrigation systems and hardware. The result may be a beautiful bee-butterfly-and-bird attracting landscape that is sustainable and can save a significant amount of water. Rebates start at $2 per square foot and may be more depending on additional local water agency incentives. For information on Metropolitan Water District’s Turf Replacement Program please visit www.bewaterwise.com/turf-replacement-program.html.
