2025 URBAN WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN <br /> MAY 2026/FINAL DRAFT/CAROLLO <br /> 9.1.3.1 High Efficiency Clothes Washer and Toilet Rebate Programs <br /> The High Efficiency Clothes Washer (HECW) Rebate Program provides residential customers with rebates <br /> starting at $85 for purchasing and installing HECWs that use 35 to 50 percent less water than standard <br /> washer models. Devices must meet or exceed the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) Tier 1 Standard, <br /> and a listing of qualified products can be found at the SoCal WaterSmart website. There is a maximum of <br /> one rebate per home. <br /> The Premium High Efficiency Toilet (HET) Rebate Program offers residential customers rebates starting at <br /> $40 for replacing their toilets using 1.6 gallons per flush with Premium HETs. Premium HETs use just <br /> 1.1 gallons of water or less per flush, which is 20 percent less water than WaterSense standard toilets. <br /> 9.1.3.2 Flow Monitor Device Pilot <br /> This pilot program provides rebates starting at $100, or more in select areas, per flow monitor device <br /> installed. These devices monitor a home's water use and can help detect leaks, making them a proactive <br /> tool for preventing expensive water bills and water damage due to unforeseen leaks.A list of residential <br /> rebate-eligible flow monitoring devices is provided. <br /> 9.1.4 CII Programs <br /> The City provides a variety of financial incentives, in partnership with MWDOC and MET, to help <br /> businesses, restaurants, institutions, hotels, hospitals, industrial facilities, and public sector sites achieve <br /> their efficiency goals.Water users in these sectors have options to choose from a standardized list of <br /> water efficient equipment/devices or may complete customized projects through a pay-for-performance <br /> where the incentive is proportional to the amount of water saved. Such projects include high efficiency <br /> commercial equipment installation and manufacturing process improvements. <br /> 9.1.4.1 Water Savings Incentive Program <br /> The Water Savings Incentive Program (WSIP) is designed for non-residential customers to improve their <br /> water efficiency through upgraded equipment or services that do not qualify for standard rebates.WSIP is <br /> unique because it provides an incentive based on the actual amount of water saved by the customers. <br /> This "pay-for-performance" design lets customers implement custom projects for their sites.The City <br /> partners with MWDOC and MET to offer this program. <br /> Projects must save at least 10 million gallons of water to qualify for the Program and incentives are paid <br /> by MET based on the amount of water saved. Payment amount is up to $0.60 per 1,000 gallons saved per <br /> year over the project life, up to a maximum of 10 years. Payments are limited to 50 percent of the eligible <br /> project costs while funding is available. Additional funding may be available through MWDOC, but it is <br /> limited. Examples of successful projects include but are not limited to changing industrial process system <br /> water to capture and reuse process wastewater, capturing condensation, and using it to supplement <br /> cooling tower water supply, and replacing water-using equipment with more efficient products. <br /> CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />
