The Santa Maria Utilities Department is incentivizing residents’ efforts to conserve water through the continuation of its Smart Landscape Rebate Program.
The Smart Landscape Rebate Program will cover a portion of costs for pre-approved designs that replace water-thirsty landscapes with water-wise plants or irrigation systems.
Residential projects that qualify can earn rebates of up to $1,500, while commercial and multi-family projects can receive up to $2,500. The program can cover a portion of the cost of pre-approved designs, water-wise plants, smart irrigation systems and landscape materials.
Landscapes for new construction are not eligible. The Smart Landscape Rebate Program is not retroactive and sale receipts and/or contractor invoices are required.
Applications for the program can be found here, or at the following locations:
- Santa Maria Regional Landfill – 2065 East Main Street
- Santa Maria Public Library – 421 South McClelland Street
- Community Development Department – 110 South Pine Street
- Recreation and Parks Department – 615 South McClelland Street
Applications will be accepted for the rest of the year.
