The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, through its WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 15.507), awarded $224,600.00 to the San Benito County Water District in Hollister, CA on Sep 11, 2024. The grant funding will support the district's Turf Removal Program, which will replace existing lawns with low-water landscaping featuring native and climate-appropriate shrubs, grasses, and trees. This project aims to reduce water demand and alleviate stress on imported surface water allocations and the local groundwater basin, supporting the 2020 Hollister Urban Area Water Management Plan's water use reduction targets. The project will target commercial, institutional, and residential water users within the district's service area and is expected to be completed by Dec 31, 2026.
