and last updated 2021-07-30 19:44:08-04
ST. GEORGE, Utah â As she reviews her community s ordinances and policies to be more water-wise, St. George Mayor Michele Randall has been pushing to ditch lawns for drought-friendly landscaping.
The city is removing more than 500,000 acre feet of turf because it hogs water. We want to keep our plants. We want to keep our trees and we want to keep a lot of our grass. But we do not have to have grass like we have, Mayor Randall said in an interview with FOX 13. Businesses, schools, weâre working with the school district, and weâre hoping the churches come on board, too, because the churches have a lot of grass nobody uses.
