ABC 7 News: OC water district brings California native landscapes to yards saving water through rebate program

LAGUNA NIGUEL, CALIF. (KABC) — The Moulton Niguel Water District is teaching people how to drought-proof their lawns, and has homeowners relaxing in a serene, environmentally-friendly space, while saving money.

It’s a new look Dennis Ghan of Laguna Niguel and his wife enjoy daily.

“Just coming and going, and seeing it all the time out here,” Ghan said. “We get a lot of compliments from people that come over to our house.”

Three years earlier it was just a lawn and hedge. That was around the start of the Moulton Niguel Water District’s NatureScape Program.
