Event Details
Replacing Useless Grass (AB356)
A law enacted by the Nevada Legislature in 2021 will prohibit the use of Colorado River water delivered by Water Authority member agencies to irrigate nonfunctional grass, beginning in 2027.
The AB356 law applies to Southern Nevada commercial, multi-family, government and other properties. It does not apply to grass in single family residences, such as grass in front and back yards.
Cutting back on this grass in our valley will reduce Southern Nevada's Colorado River consumption and protect our community's water supply.
The Water Authority Board of Directors established a citizens advisory committee to help the Water Authority implement the new law. Its activities included defining what constitutes "nonfunctional" grass.

Commercial, multi-family, and government property owners may apply for the Water Smart Landscapes rebate, which gives $3 per square foot of grass removed and replaced with desert landscaping up to the first 10,000 square feet converted, and $1.50 per square foot thereafter per property.
