Landscape Efficiency Assistance Program (LEAP)

Posted on 03/19/2026

LADWP is excited to share with you our new program, the Landscape Efficiency Assistance Program (LEAP) which provides single family residential customers in disadvantaged communities (DAC) FREE turf removal, installation of new California Friendly Gardens, and/or high-efficiency irrigation upgrades. The goals of LEAP are to encourage sustainable landscape practices, promote water conservation, and provide water savings that will help alleviate financial burdens on residents in DACs.

 

The program is funded by a grant from the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and ends December 31, 2026 or until funds are exhausted. As a prior community partner with LADWP, we value your presence and connections within your community. LADWP would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word so we can reach as many qualified customers as possible and they can take advantage of this free program while it is available.

 

Please find attached LEAP Resources for your reference and to share within your communities:

• LEAP electronic handout (English and Spanish) – LADWP can also provide physical copies for distribution upon request

• LEAP social media links that can be shared through your community groups’ social media channels

• LEAP website with program information, requirements, and how to apply:

• www.ladwp.com/LEAP

LADWP is also happy to provide a short informational presentation to your community group that covers the program offerings, qualification requirements, and how to apply. Please email us if you are interested.

 

Thank you again for being a valued LADWP partner. We greatly appreciate your support and efforts in spreading the word about LEAP within your communities!
