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!

| Want to save water and money? |
- Clothes Washer Rebate Program (Commercial & Residential)
Washing machines can use a fairly large amount of water and energy. Many of the new high efficiency model machines can help save both water and energy. Follow the appropriate link to learn more about available rebate programs.
- 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.
