When you think about it, it makes good fiscal sense. In a typical home, installing artificial turf can conserve around 22,000 gallons of water per year. Because artificial turf requires no fertilizer, no pesticides, no mowing, and reduces urban runoff, it reduces the amount of green waste going into landfills. Rebates are a great way to motivate homeowners to implement these responsible conservation measures.
Rebate programs are administered by a variety of groups, organizations and agencies, depending on your location and provider. For a mostly-comprehensive list, see http://www.heavenlygreens.com/rebatesspecials or contact your local water district.
