It was announced on September 21, 2009 that a limited number of rebates became available through the Southern California Water$mart program for residential water customers. Changes have been made to the program with the goal of promoting the installation of water-saving devices and water-saving landscapes such as artificial grass – while working with a reduced budget. Residential water customers are those living in houses or apartments, town homes, condominiums or mobile home complexes with four or less dwellings that are not represented by a homeowners association or property management company. When considering an artificial lawn installation be sure to check with your local/regional office for rebate specifics and requirements. Artificial lawn prices can be offset by these rebates – making your overall savings more substantial.

Rebate amounts may vary depending on local water agency participation. There have been important changes to the terms and conditions of this program, so please read the updated Rebate Information section closely. Check this website regularly for program updates.
