Utah Water Rebates

Provo, Utah Water Rebates

The Central Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD) runs a Landscape Incentive Program that pays homeowners to replace thirsty lawn with water-efficient planting. The rebate runs from $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot depending on which participating city you live in, and applications go through the shared utahwatersavers.com portal. Over 60 Utah communities take part. The step most people miss is the pre-project inspection. A conservation technician has to look at your lawn before you remove anything.

How to apply

  1. Confirm your city participates and check its per-square-foot rate
  2. Register on utahwatersavers.com and add your property
  3. Submit your application with yard photos and a landscape plan
  4. Wait for the conservation technician pre-project inspection before removing any grass
  5. Complete the conversion, then request the final site visit and submit a W-9 to get paid

What you'll need

  • Proof of CUWCD service-area residency
  • Before photos of the existing lawn
  • Landscape plan or drawing unique to your property
  • After photos and itemized receipts
  • Completed IRS W-9

Pollinator Patch can help: It picks Wasatch Front natives suited to Provo and Orem, designs an HOA-friendly layout that meets the water-efficient planting standards, and assembles your before-photo and plant-list packet for the inspection.

Avoid these mistakes

  • Don't remove your lawn before the pre-project inspection. Starting early disqualifies the project.
  • Don't apply on a dead or neglected lawn. The grass must be living and maintained at inspection. Dormant lawn is fine.
  • Don't assume every Wasatch Front city pays the same rate. Confirm your city's amount first.
