Desert Landscaping

Hi,

I couldn't find another discussion on the topic, but if one exists please let me know.

I live in Ogden, UT which should be mostly desert landscaping, but because many people get their water cheaply from a reservoir they water their lawns.  The problem for me is that I am looking at purchasing a house that is NOT on this 'secondary water' for cheaply water lawns.  The lot is a quarter acre and everything besides the house and driveway is grass. 

The water bill of this duplex, which is not split, goes directly to the owner and costs about $150 / month in the summer due to watering the lawn.  I think it could be as low as $75 or so.

My question:

What are some good, but cheap, ways to turn a lawn into a desert landscape or a landscape that requires very little water?

Cheers,
