Grass Replacement Rebate for Businesses in the West Basin Service Area

Starting on September 1, the grass replacement rebate for public agencies and businesses within the West Basin Municipal Water District (West Basin) service area was increased to an all-time high of $7 per square foot.

Now is the perfect time to save money while removing thirsty, water-wasting turf spaces in preparation for the upcoming statewide non-functional turf irrigation ban, which starts in January 2027.

West Basin is also providing free landscape consultation and design services valued at up to $5,000. A landscape design is required for the grass removal rebate application, so this added complimentary service will keep your landscape transformation costs lower than ever.

The $7 per-square-foot rebate is available only while supplies last and is expected to be fully reserved by Spring 2026, so take advantage of the opportunity to get money back by applying today!

This rebate is offered by: West Basin Municip al Water District
