*News Flash
Tucson Water has launched a "TURF REMOVAL REBATE". This rebate is separate from the HOA Program, and is managed by Tucson Water, not Smartscape. Find details here:

As a result of substantial interest in landscape water conservation from Homeowner’s Associations, City of Tucson Water and the University of Arizona/Pima County Cooperative Extension/Smartscape program have developed the Tucson HOA Landscape Transformation Program. HOAs typically manage large landscaped common areas in residential neighborhoods. Since water used in the landscape is the ONLY water that cannot be recycled, this presents a unique opportunity for significant reductions in water use. Your community can reap many benefits by retrofitting these areas to sustainable, resilient landscapes with native and desert-adapted plants that are maintained using Smartscape best management practices.
