How to Apply for the Turf Water Rebate

Think of it as getting permission first, then getting paid.

Get Pre-Approved First

Water authorities mean business about pre-approval. If you start your project before getting their official go-ahead, you get nothing. You’ll need to:

1. Apply Online: Fill out the application on your local water district’s website.
2. Submit Documents: Upload a recent water bill, clear photos of existing grass, and a basic project sketch.
3. Wait for Approval: Don’t start until you receive the official “Notice to Proceed.” This takes a few weeks, then you’ll have a deadline to finish.

Claim Your Cash

Once finished, submit “after” photos and itemized receipts for your artificial grass products and materials. Some districts perform final inspections.
