Moorpark residents can stack Metropolitan Water District SoCal Water Smart turf rebates with Calleguas Municipal Water District programs to replace ornamental grass with low-water landscaping that complies with state Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
Through SoCal Water Smart, MWD offers a base rebate per square foot of replaced turf, with Calleguas adding regional augmentation in many years. Replaced areas must use California-friendly plants, drip irrigation, and permeable hardscape limits. Pre-approval and post-installation inspection are required. New and substantially redesigned landscapes also fall under the Department of Water Resources Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance, enforced by Moorpark for projects above 500 square feet. Artificial turf is allowed in many private yards but is not eligible for rebates under SoCal Water Smart.
Skipping pre-approval forfeits rebate eligibility. Landscape plans above MWELO thresholds installed without approval can trigger code enforcement and corrective replanting orders.
