Westfield Galleria at Roseville converts turf to water-wise landscape equal to nearly three football fields
Westfield Galleria at Roseville is leading the way in water conservation. They're removing over 150,000 square feet of turf grass (imagine almost three football fields worth!), saving 8 million gallons of water each year. This is equivalent to the water supply for 75 homes!
By participating in Roseville's Cash for Grass rebate program, they're receiving $60,000 to offset their investment in saving water. Their efforts benefit wildlife and ecosystems and set a responsible standard for water resource management, particularly as shifting weather patterns continue.
