Yard rebates in Omaha
4 programs can pay Omaha residents for yard projects: 4 run by the city, the county or the utilities and districts that serve it. The largest, M.U.D. Smart Watering Program (Aqualytics), pays up to $105 per household.
Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
