Bills encouraging Utahns to ditch turf for water-wise landscaping move forward in state legislature
Rep. Robert Spendlove's House Bill 121 also requires state government to practice what it preaches, by forcing the state to cut watering at all government facilities by 25%. All future state government facilities cannot have more than 20% of their landscaping be turf.
But committee chair Rep. Keven Stratton, R-Orem, said he had concerns about going too far. Citing carbon sequestration, he worried that ripping up all the lawns would create heat traps. "My bill just says we should no longer have any governmental entities in Utah forcing a property owner to put in lawn," Rep. Ward told FOX 13 News on Monday.
