Check out Calleguas' new Ventura County specific landscape guide. The guide shows an ecosystem focused approach to creating a thriving and water-wise garden landscape.

Rebate Programs

Calleguas Municipal Water District (CMWD) continues to make water conservation a priority and has long offered water-saving rebate programs.  CMWD participates in a Regional Conservation Rebate Program through the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD).  Please visit bewaterwise.com for information on rebates, turf removal, plants, landscape design, and more.

Lose the Lawn - Gain a Garden! (Turf Replacement Program)

Did you know that the majority of residential water use goes toward irrigation of outdoor landscapes?  Our Mediterranean-like climate offers a great opportunity to utilize long established landscaping choices to reduce water use and still create a comfortable retreat.  The Turf Replacement Program rewards landscape designs that incorporate water-saving plants, technology, irrigation systems and other improvements.  Rebates start at $2 per square foot of turf removed!
