City preparing irrigation system rebate program

As Boerne and Kendall County remain in an extreme drought classification heading into the spring and summer months, the city is creating a program to financially reward residents who take steps to upgrade their irrigation systems.

Ryan Bass, city environmental program manager, briefed City Council March 26 on plans for the rebate program he anticipates will be in full use by late spring.

“We really truly want to incentivize someone to take action and upgrade their system,” Bass said.
