California Water Rebates

Vacaville, California Water Rebates

The City of Vacaville Utilities adds a city turf replacement rebate on top of the regional Solano County Water Agency rebate. The city portion pays $2 per square foot, up to 1,000 sq ft or $2,000, to replace existing turf with water-efficient landscaping. Because it stacks on the regional rebate, Vacaville residents can combine both. The catch: the city requires a pre-inspection before you remove any turf.

$2 / sq ft, up to $2,000

How to apply

  1. Confirm you are a City of Vacaville Utilities customer
  2. Request the city pre-inspection before removing any turf
  3. Wait for written approval to begin
  4. Replace the turf with living water-efficient landscaping (no artificial grass or concrete)
  5. Submit photos and receipts for the $2 per sq ft city supplement

What you'll need

  • City of Vacaville utility account information
  • Before photos of the existing turf
  • Pre-inspection approval confirmation
  • Plant list or landscape plan
  • After photos and itemized receipts

Pollinator Patch can help: It picks Vacaville-appropriate natives for the Sacramento Valley, designs an HOA-friendly water-efficient layout that satisfies both the city and regional programs, and assembles the before-photo and plant-list packet for your pre-inspection.

Avoid these mistakes

  • Don't remove turf before the city pre-inspection. It is required and starting early can disqualify the project.
  • Don't replace the lawn with artificial grass or concrete. Neither is eligible for this rebate.
  • Don't forget to apply for the regional Solano County Water Agency rebate too, since the city amount stacks on top of it.
