Water Saving Rebates for Your Business

Just like we do with energy, Holland BPW offers rebate incentives for customers who reduce their water use. Reducing your irrigated surfaces by replacing turf grass with alternative landscaping or other solutions can reduce water costs while beautifying your property.

Measures Available

To keep rates low and reduce water bills for our customers, we offer a rebate of $2,500 per acre (up to $10,000 per incentive) of irrigated space converted to low-impact landscaping. This includes converting lawns to native prairie, manicured native beds, or hardscapes that require less water.
