Gilbert considers $250,000 plan to expand grass removal rebate program amid Colorado River concerns
Gilbert leaders are considering a $250,000 plan to expand a grass removal rebate program as the town faces growing pressure on its Colorado River water supply.
The Town Council is expected to look at a resolution this week on whether to apply for a $125,000 federal grant through the Bureau of Reclamation's WaterSMART Small-Scale Water Efficiency Project. The total cost of the project with a match would bring the budget to $250,000.
The funding, according to the town, would expand Gilbert's Non-Residential Grass Removal Rebate Program.
