The Water Use Efficiency
Department at the Municipal Water District of Orange
County takes pride in providing programs to assist
residential homeowners, commercial/industrial business
owners, and professional landscapers in reducing the
daily amount of water used. Since water is one of
the most valuable resources in Southern California,
it is very important to use this precious natural
resource wisely. Several programs are administered
by the Water Use Efficiency Department to assist in
the effort of saving water, including the rebate programs listed below.
