Redmond bulletin urges drought-tolerant yards; Cascade Water Alliance rebate up to $500
Summary
City of Redmond staff advised residents that lawns require significant water and suggested replacing grass with native or drought-tolerant plants; the Cascade Water Alliance 'Turf Out' rebate was cited as offering up to $500.
Redmond’s weekly city news bulletin for the week of July 14 encouraged residents to reduce summer water use by replacing traditional lawns with native or drought-tolerant plants and noted a rebate program to help offset costs.
“Did you know that a lawn needs a lot of water to stay green all summer? Consider replacing your grass with native or drought tolerant plants to reduce water usage and water bills,” Ksenia Dailey, a City of Redmond human resources employee, said in the broadcast. Dailey also mentioned Cascade Water Alliance’s Turf Out rebate program, saying it can provide “up to a $500 rebate.”
The bulletin framed the recommendation as a water‑use and cost‑saving tip; it did not provide eligibility criteria, application deadlines, or the specific steps residents must take to qualify for the Cascade Water Alliance rebate.
Residents interested in the rebate or in drought‑tolerant landscaping should consult Cascade Water Alliance materials for program rules, eligible plant lists, and application instructions.
