Rebates and the Wastewater Project's Water Conservation Program

As most of you know, a condition of hooking up to the wastewater project is to retrofit your home (if needed) with low-flow toilets, showerheads and aerators (some of us have already done this). The County has posted the Powerpoint from Tuesday's meeting where the plan was approved by the Supes. Visit the County's webpage to see what is coming up. Most will have a licensed plumber do the work for them which includes the inspection to determine what work is needed. Then the plumber's certification will accompany your rebate form to get your money back. This amount could cover the entire cost of the fixtures and the work, but this could depend on how fancy of a low-flow toilet that you want:

See what the rebate application looks like here:

It you have already done the work to your house, there is another rebate amount that you might want to look into, which could include clothes washers or on-demand hot water devices.

There is more money if you do this early rather than later.
