It’s getting hot out there! Not only are the rising temperatures uncomfortable, but they also put a lot of stress on our water supply, as the heat makes thirsty plants and lawns require more and more water.

That’s why Austin Water is offering you the chance to cut down on water use… and get paid for doing it. Austin residents can receive up to a $1,750 rebate for converting turf grass to native plant beds, which can end or reduce the need for extra watering. The application deadline is September 30th. You can apply here>>
