"We've identified areas throughout the city that we have deemed as non-functional turf, or grass that does not have a defined, recreational, purposeful use," Mayor Kress Staheli said."We’re removing the grass and replacing it with a natural desert-scape."
"It’s going to save over four million gallons of water a year," said Zachary Renstrom, the general manager of the Washington County Water Conservancy District."So we’re really excited about it and we’re excited to show you can still have great landscaping." "The reality is, we live in a desert and we rely on a single source for water," he said."So we have to do all we can to be water wise."
"I would say the days of non-functioning green grass are over," Renstrom told FOX 13 News."We’re still going to have grass down here. Grass has a purpose, we want our kids to go out and play on it, we want people to recreate on it. But that’s just it. We want it to be functional grass that people are using."
