STPUD promoting Turf Buy Back Program
South Tahoe Public Utility District is having a workshop May 8 about its Turf Buy Back Program.
The rebate program offers homeowners the opportunity to remove their lawn and replace it with a Tahoe-friendly landscape.
The free workshop is at 6pm at 1275 Meadow Crest Drive, South Lake Tahoe.
For more information, call 530.543.6268.
If turf reduction is so important how come we planted miles of it along Hwy 50?
The turf buy back program offered by STPUD is a good thing all the way around. Just be careful who you mention it to. I brought it up to my neighbor trying to help him out and he went ballistic. He parks on his lawn, it’s mostly all dead as his 5 vehicles all leak fluids, and when I told him he could get paid by tearing up the grass and putting in native plants he went nuts. Yelling and screaming at me. The weird thing is I went over with some helpful suggestions trying to help the guy out, I was very nice about it, but he totaly turned it around. Very strange and infuriating to say the least. So while it’s a good program I would caution those that talk to unstable neighbors.
To learn about this program call STPUD at 543-6268 and the nice lady will give you the information. Conserve water and keep your distance from the nuts!
Take care , OLS
