Utah Water Rebates

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.

How to apply

  1. Confirm your property is in the Weber Basin service area
  2. Apply through the Weber Basin MyWater portal with photos of your existing lawn
  3. Complete the digital site visit and wait for approval before removing any grass
  4. Replace the lawn with a water-efficient landscape, not new turf
  5. Submit after photos and receipts to receive $2.50 per sq ft

What you'll need

  • Weber Basin MyWater account
  • Before photos of the existing grass lawn
  • Approval and digital site visit confirmation
  • After photos and itemized receipts

Pollinator Patch can help: It picks northern Utah natives suited to Layton and Ogden, designs an HOA-friendly water-efficient layout that clears the lawn-to-lawn rule, and assembles your before-photo packet for the digital site visit.

Avoid these mistakes

  • Don't remove any lawn before approval and the digital site visit. Starting early disqualifies the project.
  • Don't replace grass with new grass. Lawn-to-lawn replacements are not eligible.
  • Don't skip the photos of the existing lawn. They document the area you are converting.
