BACKGROUND: Along with increasing the district's two-year conservation budget to a record $450 million, Metropolitan's board will consider modifying the agency's turf removal program to ensure rebates continue to be available to homeowners, businesses and public agencies throughout the Southland. If approved, program changes would place some funding limits on rebate requests for residential, commercial and public agency property and would establish rebate tiers based on the amount of turf being removed.
