Water Smart Savings
Thank you! Customers responded admirably to the call for water conservation this summer and were successful in reducing summer water consumption by 19%.
The state mandated period for water conservation has ended and on October 6, 2009, Ordinance No. 23 declaring the end of the water shortage emergency condition in the Novato service area was passed unanimously by the District's Board of Directors. Customers are encouraged to continue conserving water and to take advantage of the Water Smart Savings Program outlined below:
Cash for Grass
Lawns require a tremendous amount of water to keep healthy. As part of the Water Smart Savings Program, you can get cash back when you remove your lawn and re-landscape with California native low water use plants or District approved synthetic turf. Complete program details and requirements can be found on our Water Conservation page or call (415) 897-4133 ext. 8711.
Rebate Amount: Up to $1 per square foot of lawn removed depending on project scope, maximum rebate of $1,000. Rebates available until funds are depleted.
How to Participate: Develop a qualifying landscape plan and plant list and call NMWD at (415) 897-4133 ext 8711, to schedule a brief pre-inspection. Dead or already removed lawns may not qualify.
Water Smart Home Survey
NMWD offers free Water Smart Home Surveys as the cornerstone of the Water Smart Savings Program. This free service includes indoor and outdoor water efficiency checks, a landscape irrigation system efficiency test and a leak detection test.
Our friendly, knowledgeable survey technicians can show how you can easily conserve more water and save money. Best of all, your appointment can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you.
How to Participate: Call (415) 897-4133, ext. 8711 to set up your free appointment.
Water Smart Landscape Efficiency Rebate
Efficient landscapes can be achieved through a number of strategies including efficient irrigation devices and equipment, and soil maintenance. You may be eligible for rebates when you install District approved water-efficient landscape equipment including:
· Drip irrigation systems
· Water pressure-regulating device
· Check valves
· Multi-stream rotating sprinkler nozzles (for lawn areas only)
· Mulch
· Soil conditioner/amendment
Rebate Amount: 50% of the actual cost of District approved items, up to a maximum of $200 for residential customers. Rebates available until funds are depleted.
How to Participate: Confirm eligibility during your Water Smart Home Survey to identify water-efficient landscape actions to be taken.
High-Efficiency Toilet Rebate
Don’t flush money away. Now you can get a rebate of up to $150 per High-Efficiency Toilet (HET) when you replace your non-water-conserving toilets. HETs use 20% less water than standard ultra-low flush toilets, so not only will you save water, but you’ll save money, too. HETs eligible for rebate must be on the District Approved List of Qualified Models.
Rebate Amount: Up to $150 for each qualifying HET. Rebate amount for HET good through the end of each calendar year (December 31) or until funds are depleted.
How to Participate: During your Water Smart Home Survey, your NMWD representative can conduct the simple pre-inspection.
