Aurora Water incentivizes the conversion of water-guzzling turf lawns to water-wise landscapes. Water-wise landscapes are attractive, lower maintenance yards that save water, provide wildlife habitat and withstand drought.
In addition to converting to a landscape such as the one pictured above, we also provide rebates for conversion of Kentucky bluegrass to low-water grasses. For our semi-arid region, grasses that require low amounts of supplemental water and maintenance to survive make the most sense.
Whether you choose a colorful plant-based landscape or low-water grass, you’ll conserve water and save money on your water bill by switching to a water-wise landscape.
Water-wise landscape rebate basic rules:
- All projects must be approved by Aurora Water prior to installation.
- Areas to be converted must be grass that is in good health.
- Projects must be front, side areas or both that are readily visible to the public.
- A 500-square-foot minimum size applies to all projects, unless it is for the entire front yard or curbside area (the grass between the sidewalk and the street).
- A phasing option is available.
- Before completing the application, be sure to read the Water-wise Landscape Rebate Manual.
