Landscape Rebates Available from Valley Water
 
Valley Water's Landscape Rebate Program is available to all homeowners, apartments and commercial sites that make qualifying water efficient upgrades to their landscape. Since Morgan Hill is a cost sharing area, rebates of up to $3,000 for residential sites and $60,000 for commercial/multi-family sites (5 or more units) are available. This program is designed to encourage residents and businesses to convert approved high water use landscape to low water use landscape as well as to retrofit existing irrigation equipment with approved high efficiency irrigation equipment. Sites wishing to participate in the rebate program must complete a pre-inspection and submit an online application for approval before beginning any work on their project.
