There has never been a better time to save water! With a vast array of financial incentives, making upgrades around your home can lower your monthly bills and help contribute to water savings in California!
Residential Rebates
While Southern California’s population and economy continue to grow, its water supply doesn’t. In the next 15 years, our region is expected to gain as many as 2.6 million new residents. That’s almost like having everyone in the state of Kansas move west. Meeting this future demand is what we are hard at work on every day.
Funding for the SoCal Water$mart program is through a partnership between the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) and its 26 member agencies throughout Southern California. Their commitment to developing an affordable balance between supply and demand has made “finding” water a mission. Learn more about the residential rebate programs available by visiting the SoCal Water$mart website.

FREE WaterSmart Checkup
*Residential Surveys are suspended until further notice by the provider.
An independent water efficiency professional will visit your property and provide site-specific water saving recommendations. This is no obligation to implement the recommendations and no solicitation. Residential customers will be shown where their water meter is located and whether the meter indicates there is a leak on the property. The irrigation system will also be reviewed, including the irrigation controller, to see if run times are appropriate. Schedule an Appointment. The program is available for free in-person commercial landscape surveys.
