Starting in June 1993,
LADWP created a separate
agreement with The
Metropolitan Water District
of Southern California
(MWD) for the CBO
program. LADWP buys
some of its water from
MWD, and MWD has a
Conservation Credits
Program through which it
helps its customers
finance conservation
of the program, including toilet purchase
and storage and the $25 CBO payment.
The subcontractor locates a willing CBO
and procures the ULFTs. The subcontrac-
tor also trains the CBO members on
program operations, such as how to
maintain a database to track participation
and how to install the ULFTs.
The CBO component of the ULFT pro-
gram is increasing. The CBOs distributed
10,000 ULFTs during fiscal year 1992
through 1993. For fiscal year 1993
through 1994, CBOs distributed about
63,000 ULFTs. As of December 1996,
CBOs had distributed 236,660 ULFTs.
Overall, LADWP has retrofit 675,387
toilets since the program's inception,
resulting in annual water savings of 24,000
acre-feet.

programs. In this case,
MWD pays the full program
costs to the contractor and
LADWP reimburses MWD
for its share (50%).
Recently, the rebate to
CBOs increased to $110
per toilet to cover a $10
per toilet fee to have the
old toilets recycled.
CBOs involved with the program have
included:
^ Mothers of East Los Angeles
^ Korean Youth Community Center
^ First African Methodist Episcopal
Church
^ Keeping the World at Peace
^ Iglesia Power de Dios
