Before you start
Do not remove turf or begin work before you have written approval. This program requires pre-approval. Starting early can disqualify the project even if everything else is correct.
Resolves the prior Eagle River WSD "Beyond Lawn" carry-forward lead: ERWSD no longer runs its own rebate and routes residents to this Eagle County Conservation District program (live 2026 rate page). Substantial ($2,500 turf cap) - candidate for a future deep-guide hub upgrade. The third-party $1.44/sq ft figure was NOT used; the official page shows a single $1/sq ft tier.
