Stockton residents may qualify for turf replacement rebates through Cal Water and statewide programs, replacing thirsty lawn with low-water landscaping consistent with the California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance.
Cal Water customers in Stockton can apply for turf replacement rebates through the company conservation programs, while the statewide DWR turf replacement program has periodically funded similar incentives. New and rehabilitated landscapes over specified square footage thresholds must comply with the California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO), limiting turf, requiring efficient irrigation, and including soil amendments. AB 1572 phases out potable water for non-functional turf at commercial and institutional sites.
Non-compliance with MWELO during permit review triggers landscape plan revisions or denial; AB 1572 violations can result in state penalties for non-functional turf irrigation.
