Thinking of going water-wise with your landscape? In parts of Utah, it pays.

The “Flip Your Strip” program offers rebates to Utah residents who remove the grass from their park strips.

(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) "I really believe in the program," said Cindi Griwald with her son Collin, 21, who helped. "It's the smartest thing to do. We're in a drought in a desert region." With the help of state-run rebate and incentive programs, Draper resident Griswald thinks she got 80% of her money back to change her grass parking strips into a colorful, water-wise landscape, Aug. 6, 2021.
