Incentive Overview
Summary
The Xeriscape Incentive Program (XIP) is a comprehensive, education-based program offering Fort Collins Utilities residential water customers a rebate for transforming a pre-approved high-water use area to a water-wise landscape.
Actionability
Fort Collins Utilities residential water customers can receive a rebate for transforming a pre-approved high-water use area to a water-wise landscape. Customers receive a $0.75/square foot rebate up to 1,000 square feet, or up to $750, per approved project, per address.
Justification
Switching from a water intensive landscape design to a more water efficent one allows individuals to benefit from a lower water bill, and receive the rebate for making the change, a win-win for the city as it puts less strain on resources as well as the home-owner in the short and long-term with money savings.
