Landscaping Rebates

Want to Renovate Your Lawn? Waterwise Landscaping Rebates Available to Millcreek Homeowners, HOAs, and Commercial Users

Starting in May 2023, Millcreek homeowners, HOA’s, and Commercial Property Owners will be able to apply for rebates to replace existing landscaping with new waterwise landscaping that is designed for Utah’s climate. These rebates are available in partnership with the Utah Division of Water Resources, the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, and local water providers. These grants are made available through a recent legislative appropriation of $5 million to implement a statewide grass removal rebate program.

Rebates for Homeowners

If you are a homeowner, you may be eligible for a rebate of $2 to $3 per square foot of lawn. These rebates will be available to homeowners by submitting an application and a landscape plan through the Localscapes® Rewards Program available at utahwatersavers.com. In order to maximize the rebate, we encourage homeowners to avoid replacing any existing landscaping, or removing or killing grass, until you apply and get approval for your re-landscaping plan. You can start your application now, but applications will not be reviewed or approved until funding becomes available in May 2023.
