AUGUST 2021
Lawn-To-Garden Rebate Program

Outside watering is the biggest drain on our water. We live in a Mediterranean climate that brings cool, wet winters and summer droughts. It is important to have landscaping that uses drought-tolerant plants, efficient irrigation, and utilizes other water-saving methods.

Ditch that thirsty turf for a beautiful low-water-use garden and get up to $1,000 in rebates. Diablo Water District offers a Lawn-To-Garden rebate program to replace your front lawn with a water-wise landscape. Whether your grass is lush or lackluster, you can trade in your turf for drought-tolerant landscape that will save you money and time while you conserve water.

It's easy to get started! Check out this awesome opportunity and break up with your grass for good.
Recycled Water Initiatives

Diablo Water District is committed to sustainable water practices and our policies and initiatives are built to lead with an environmentally responsible mindset. At the March 10, 2021 Special Board Meeting, the Board adopted a new policy to begin the process of implementing Recycled Water into our District's service area. Although our District does not have any current projects to serve Recycled Water to, we have partnered with Ironhouse Sanitary District to begin implementation of future recycled water use.

An ad hoc committee was established to coordinate with ISD to refine our working Recycled Water Regulation. This regulation will drive the District's projects and utilization of recycled water. This regulation will also enable meeting growing water requirements of the state, as well as continue to conserve our potable water.

It is important to continually plan for our future with investments in alternative water sources and continued infrastructure development and improvements. Diablo Water District remains committed to developing these alternative sources and continues to encourage our customers to find ways to maximize water-efficiency in your home and landscape and reduce water waste. Recycled Water is still available to our service customers through Ironhouse Sanitary District for your outdoor watering needs.
Congratulations to our Water-Wise Conservation Contest Winner!

Now is the time to conserve. Our customers kicked-off this summer with some significant conservation. Our campaign for home-delivered custom conservation kits was a great success, and you proved that no effort is too small. From collecting water run-off to reuse in your landscape, recycling indoor water-waste to repurpose with watering outdoors, to changing out showerheads and adding aerators to your faucets, we know that drought is not a season and conservation counts all year long.

Our team was able to deliver over 200 custom kits right to your doorstep, with over 1,800 conservation devices being installed in your homes and making a difference. We will continue to make these custom kit deliveries to your door, while our lobby remains closed to the public.

Congratulations to our Conservation Campaign Contest Winner - Daniel! We are so excited for you and hope you enjoy your new Front-Loading Washer. A special thank you to all who participated. Your conservation efforts have made a big impact! 

We love hearing from you.
