Layton, Utah Water Rebates

The Weber Basin Water Conservancy District runs the Landscape Lawn Exchange across northern Utah, covering Layton, Ogden, Bountiful, and nearby cities. It pays $2.50 per square foot of grass lawn you remove and replace with a more water-efficient alternative. The rule that catches people: you have to get approval and a digital site visit before you remove any lawn, and replacing grass with new grass does not count.
