Grass Replacement Incentive Program (GRIP)
If you're responsible for your own landscaping, head over to our GRIP page.
• Aurora Water must approve all projects before installation. Rebates are not retroactive.
• Areas to be converted must have existing grass. Yards that contain barren soil or significant bare patches of soil and weeds do not qualify.
• Areas containing existing grass that serves primarily an aesthetic purpose. Potential areas will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
• A phasing option is available. We have partnered up with Xcel Energy to show Aurora’s local businesses and multifamily properties big savings potential. Take the guesswork out of efficiency with a dual assessment from both utilities. See our multifamily flyer or commercial flyer for full details. Contact us at [email protected] for more information and to schedule your dual assessment.
• Artificial grass does not qualify for a rebate.
• Before completing the application, read the HOA/Large property Grass Replacement Incentive Program (GRIP) Manual.
Toilet rebate program
If you are an HOA, commercial property or multi-family property you are eligible to participate in the toilet rebate program. You will receive your rebate in the form of a check.
