Rebate Program

The District began a rebate program in May of 2003 to provide incentive for
customers to install items that enhance water use efficiency. Details on each rebate are
provided in Table 2-11. Customers receive a rebate from the District for the purchase
and use of any of the items. For the first 3 years of the program, 196 rebates were
provided to customers totaling $21,426. Estimated water savings for the rebates where
savings could be quantified from 2003 to 2005 are presented in Table 2-12.
