Marin Water Customers may receive a rebate of up to $3 per square foot for replacing grass in their landscapes. Homeowner reimbursements will be capped at 1,000 square feet, and business owners capped at 5,000 square feet. The base rebate of $1.50 per square foot has fewer requirements to provide customers with more flexibility while still achieving water savings. The top tier rebate of $3 per square foot is available to customers who follow best management practices to optimize long-term water savings, including:
- Sheet mulching in place versus physical removal of lawn.
- Installation of mostly California native low water use plants over at least 50% of the project area based on mature plant size.
- Installation of an alternative water source or stormwater capture feature such as a rain garden, rainwater harvesting cistern, or graywater system.
