If you are a resident of Mesa and are looking for ways to reduce your household expenses (I think we'd all like to do that) you should check out the "Grass-To-Xeriscape" Landscape Rebate Program.
We all know that we live in a desert and that water is one of our most important resources. In an effort to promote water conservation, Mesa is offering a $500 rebate to qualifying single family residences if you replace 500 square feet or more of existing lawn with Sonoran Desert appropriate plants.
If you would like more information or to see if you qualify, visit the City of Mesa's website.
I think this is a highly commendable step that has been taken. Indeed we need to understand the importance of water conservation and preservation.

Landscapes are thirsty, consuming 50% to 70% of our residential water - water that has been gathered moved, pumped treated to drinking standards, and delivered to the landscape. The purpose of the Landscape Irrigation Controller Rebate is to reduce outdoor water use by improving watering efficiency. A rebate is offered for the purchase of a new multiprogramming, permanently hardwired, electronically activated irrigation controller. The rebate amount varies, depending on the type of unit purchased, but will not exceed the actual cost of one controller. An itemized, dated sales receipt for purchase of the controller is required. A backflow device must be installed and inspected for nonresidential properties and multifamily residential properties.
