Water is a precious and vital resource!

All living things need water to survive. California has beautiful blue skies most of the year and a Mediterranean climate that is the envy of many. But we sometimes pay a price for living in this type of environment: little to no rain or snowfall. Without enough rain or snowfall during the year, our reservoirs can dip to dangerously low levels. Since we still need water to drink, manufacture products, and irrigate our crops, the need for water conservation becomes essential. Even in years where our water levels are normal, we need to be educated about our water usage. If you start to practice some simple tips, conservation will become second nature!

  • High-Efficiency Toilet Rebate Program
    Older toilets can account for up to 25% of your water bill. To help save water and lower your water & sewer bill, switch over to a new high-efficiency toilet.
  • Cooling Tower Conductivity Controller Rebate Program
    If your conductivity controller is more than 5 years old, it may be losing efficiency. Annual water savings with a new Cooling Tower Conductivity Controller can be as much as 800,000 gallons. This translates into a $4,000 savings in water and sewage costs per tower.
