Water efficiency means being smart about using water through water-saving technologies around the house. Switching to high-efficiency appliances and water-efficient devices makes being water smart easy. What’s more, through our partnership with MWD and its SoCal Water$mart program, you can apply for money-saving rebates.
Be sure to visit SoCal Water$mart for a list of qualifying products—from flow monitor/leak detection devices and high-efficiency toilets to clothes washers.
For other devices, look for products with a ‘WaterSense’ label, which are backed by an independent, third-party certification and meet EPA’s specifications for water efficiency and performance. You can visit the EPA’s website to find WaterSense products in your area. By retrofitting your home to be water fit, you will save on your water bills.
