Modesto promotes turf-replacement rebates and drought-tolerant landscaping to cut water bills

The city promoted its turf replacement program and water conservation rebates as ways for residents to reduce water bills, encouraging native plants and drought-tolerant landscaping.

“Check out the water conservation rebates link in our bio for more information on how native plants and drought-tolerant landscaping can save you money in the long run,” the staff member said.

The transcript gives no details about rebate amounts, eligibility rules, application deadlines, or which departments administer the program. The announcement framed the program as a way to make a lasting impact on household water costs but did not provide specific examples, estimated savings, or links beyond the reference to the city's bio.

Residents seeking rebates should consult the city's official web link for full program details; the transcript did not supply the full URL or program criteria.
