The California Water Service Co (Cal Water) was awarded a $798,910 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507). The grant will fund a lawn to garden turf conversion rebate program to promote water conservation through the transformation of high-water-use landscaping and irrigation to drought tolerant, permeable landscapes in five of Cal Water's districts. The project is expected to result in annual water savings of 16 acre-feet, which will help meet commercial and residential water demands in Cal Water's Bakersfield, Marysville, Oroville, Selma, and Visalia districts. The project period is from August 15, 2023 to September 30, 2025.
