However, you can complete an application and in mid-June, we will notify applicants if we are able to accommodate removal projects at full cost to participants outside of our existing partnerships.

Please note, this does not guarantee we will be able to accommodate your project in 2023 and you will have to re-apply in 2024. We also encourage you to contact your water provider directly to determine if it has its own turf/lawn replacement program.
Acknowledgement*
