CalWater News and Information

Water conservation is one of the best - and cheapest - ways to respond to the worsening drought. To help Cal Water customers make their landscaping and irrigation systems as efficient as possible, they just announced two new conservation programs.

Highlights of the new programs include:

• Lawn-to-garden program offers a rebate of $3 per square foot of lawn removed and replaced with drought-tolerant alternatives.

•Spray-to-drip program provides a rebate of $0.50 per square foot of landscaping converted from a standard spray irrigation system to a drip system. Drip irrigation uses 20 to 50 percent less water compared to sprinklers.

These new programs build upon the Smart Landscape Tune-Up Program, which fixes most leaks for customers at no cost, allowing them to save water and money.

These new programs will make it even easier for Cal Water's customers to reduce water use and save money, all reflective of our commitment to deliver quality, service, and value.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. More information on all the ways Cal Water is helping customers conserve water is available the website - click here.
