SNWA offers Las Vegas residents incentive to get rid of grass
For the last 20 years, the Southern Nevada Water Authority has been giving Las Vegas residents cash for each square foot of grass they convert to a desert landscape. That incentive went up just for 2024 from $3 a square foot to $5 a square foot of grass converted. … Last year, over 12 million square feet of grass was converted and that was when the incentive was at $3 a square foot. Now this year at $5 a square foot SNWA is seeing around a thousand applications each month for the rebate program which has a budget of about $24 million.
