WITH A VARIETY OF REBATE PROGRAMS,
SAVING WATER HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER
As California faces historic drought conditions, EMWD wants to help you do your part to save water and money.

EMWD and its partner The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California offer a wide variety of rebate programs to help you reduce your water use, which will help California stretch its limited water supplies during this severe drought.

Rebate programs are available to help remove the grass at your home and replace it with drought tolerant landscaping, upgrade your irrigation controller to one that automatically adjusts based on weather patterns, and also upgrade irrigation systems with deep watering stakes, drip systems, and modernized sprinkler nozzles.

For more information on the rebate programs, please visit www.emwd.org/waterwise-programs-and-rebates or www.socalwatersmart.com.
COMING SOON: YOUR WATER QUALITY REPORT
EMWD wants to ensure you are confident in the water quality we deliver to your home and business every single day.

EMWD is proud of its water quality and performed more than 39,000 tests in 2021 to ensure we met every state and federal drinking water standard.

Our annual Consumer Confidence Report will be released on or before July 1, 2022. This report provides detailed, science-based information on the sources and quality of your drinking water supplies.

The report will be available online and printed copies may also be requested. Customers will receive a postcard in the mail notifying them that the report is available.
KNOWING YOUR WATER BUDGET IS KEY!
Just like with your household finances, knowing your water budget is key to staying under it.

That is why EMWD's MyAccount portal provides a water budget estimator each month. By helping you project what your water budget will be, we are able to help you remain within it -- which saves water and money.

And if your household size or landscaped area has changed, updating your account information will help your budget provide you with the right amount of water for your current needs.

Answer:
 
Schools and parks across EMWD's service area are among the most forward-thinking when it comes to being efficient water users.

EMWD has worked with both schools and public parks so that many of those facilities are using recycled water to irrigate their fields. This reduces their demands on our drinking water supplies and also provides significant cost savings for them.

Approximately 35 percent of EMWD's overall water supply is met through recycled water. EMWD currently has 27 schools and 76 parks in its service area using recycled water. Recycled water is also not subject to the same restrictions during the drought as potable water, so these facilities can remain green so our families have a place to recreate.
