MIRACLE MARCH!

On Feb. 22, an average of 4.6 inches was measured and on March 23 an average of 15.5 inches was recorded, going from 16 percent to 56 percent of the April 1 average.  In terms of water volume, storms from March 1 through Sunday added 10.6 inches of water to the snow pack on average at stations across the Tahoe Basin. All this late season snow has prolonged winter for many resorts.  You can check closing dates for your favorite place  here.
And Skiing for Schools tickets are on sale now for Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley for $100 per ticket.  Valid dates are April 1 to season close, which is currently scheduled for Memorial Day weekend!

TDPUD Water-Efficient Toilet Rebate

The TDPUD Water-Efficient Toilet Rebate Program encourages customers to change out their old, high-water using toilets to new, lower water use toilets. Many "older" homes and businesses (pre- 1995) still have high-water use toilets that use between 3 and 7 gallons per flush (GPF). In 1995, the Federal toilet standards went into effect requiring toilets installed in new construction to use 1.6 gallons of water per flush or less. Recent advancements have allowed toilets to use 1.28 gallons per flush or less while still providing equal or superior performance. Beginning January 1, 2016, the California Title 20 appliance standard requires toilet to be 1.28 gallons per flush or less. This is 20 percent less water than the current 1.6 GPF federal standard.
This rebate of up to $100 will help TDPUD water customers upgrade their toilets and use less  water.

How can I determine the Gallons per Flush (GPF) of my old toilet?

If your home  was built prior to 1995, then you likely have a toilet that uses 3 gallons or more per flush:

· For older toilets, the GPF capacity may be stamped on the inside of the tank, or underside of the tank lid or there may be a date stamp inside the tank or on the underside of the tank  lid- 1994 or earlier suggests 3 GPF or greater.
· Does the tank look like it would hold three or more 1-gallon milk  containers?
· Generally, newer toilet's gallons per flush are printed on the porcelain directly behind the seat, inside the tank or on the tank  lid.
How can I provide proof that the old toilet has been decommissioned?
· You may provide a photo of the old toilet clearly showing it has been removed and made  inoperable.
· You may provide a receipt from the landfill itemizing the number of toilets disposed  of.
· If applicable, provide a receipt from a licensed professional for removal and installation of  toilet.
· You may provide a small piece of porcelain from the tank of the removed toilet (placed in a plastic  bag).
