Rebate Programs
Conservation Rebate Programs - The District offers rebates on several water conserving items. For more information, visit the District's Rebate Page.
Conservation Tips
- Regularly check for and repair all leaks
- Install low flow devices such as High Efficiency Toilets, faucet aerators and low water using pre-rinse spray valves
- Use “dry sweeping” to clean concrete or asphalt surfaces instead of using water to wash down surfaces or use a water efficient “Waterbroom”
- Eliminate all irrigation by planting native and very water wise plants that need irrigation only to be established
