Grass Removal Mandate (AB356)
What Does the Grass Removal Mandate Mean?
- With ongoing drought conditions affecting water levels at Lake Mead, a newly implemented law, AB 356, is aimed at increasing efficient water use throughout Southern Nevada.
- The law applies to commercial properties, HOAs and multi-family developments and will save about 10 percent of the community’s water supply.
- Businesses owners and managers of industrial, commercial and office park properties, HOAs, churches, etc. should start making plans now to eliminate the largest water consumer from their property portfolios: water-thirsty grass.
- The turf removal law prohibits the use of water delivered by SNWA’s member agencies to irrigate decorative grass in streetscapes, medians, parking lots, and other areas where it is used for aesthetics and not recreational purposes by the end of 2026.
