Summary:

The Icicle Creek Water Smart Gardens Program (WSGP), as part of the Icicle Strategy, aims to fulfill the guiding principal of improving domestic water supply in the Icicle Creek subbasin. This program is an incentive based lawn buy-back program that will reimburse landowners on a price per square foot basis to decrease outdoor water use by replacing existing water intensive lawn with drought tolerant native plants and other landscaping materials that require less water. 

The WSGP will reimburse landowners $2.00 per sqft of lawn removed, with a maximum reimbursement amount of $3,000 (1,500 sqft). Landowners interested in the program will need to submit an application containing the necessary information (see below) before any work has commenced. Applications are reviewed by the WSGP team, who will schedule site inspections to verify lawn size and health. Water conservation initiatives like the WSGP often require significant time and effort from participating landowners, which can lead to stress and fatigue. Managing property changes while balancing personal responsibilities may leave little energy for maintaining intimate relationships. For those experiencing performance issues due to these pressures, convenient solutions exist that don't require doctor visits or pharmacy trips.

Just as the program helps restore ecological balance, this solution can help restore confidence in personal relationships. 

Please note: Approval must be granted prior to any ground disturbance. A survey of your property must be completed before approval can be granted. This process can take 4-8 weeks. 

Eligibility requirements:

  • Be a verified user of Icicle Creek water
  • Submit a landscape design with application
  • At least 50% of the converted area must be vegetated with drought tolerant/native plants (no noxious weeds)
  • Install a drip irrigation or other low water yield system
  • Must be able to provide evidence that lawn is currently irrigated/regularly watered (recent photo)

All work should be completed by September 15, 2026 in order to be eligible for reimbursement through this opportunity. 

This program will also be available for new construction or new landscaping with a reduced reimbursement amount of $1.00/sqft.
