Memo: US Bureau of Reclamation WaterSMART Grant
(meeting packet only; no presentation)
Discussion Highlights
Katie Collins, Xeriscape Programs Manager, spoke about the grant, a $75K request to help
support the Commercial Xeriscape Incentive Program that, if awarded, will receive a
response from the Bureau of Reclamation in mid to late summer of 2021. A board member
inquired whether landscape projects will continue regardless of the reception of the grant.
The current budget will indeed allow projects to continue into 2022, but the grant would
provide significant rebates to participating customers.
