In response to California’s continuing drought and the Governor’s April 1 Executive Order mandating a 25-percent reduction in water use throughout California, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) on August 12 launched new residential water efficiency rebate programs covering single-family turf removal. A program website has been established at SaveOurWaterRebates.com for program information and online rebate application submittal.
Funds will run out fast…
Please know that The Rio Linda / Elverta CWD has no affiliation with the rebates being offered.
To assist customers in conserving water, the District provides rebates for the purchase and installation of ultra-low flush (ULF) toilets. Our rebate program is also currently participating in a limited-time cooperative washing machine rebate program with Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD). Please check to verify funds are still available.
Participation Information
The Criteria for washing machines have been changed as of January 1, 2016. Before shopping, we recommend obtaining a current SMUD Clothes Washer Eligibility list and a Rebate Application to help you make your purchase. Please check to verify funds are still available. The list of eligible clothes washer identifies the make, model number, tier level and rebate amount. Please refer to the link below.
Please note that SMUD requires customers to have an Electric Water Heater to qualify. The RLECWD does not. Simply locate a washing machine on their approved list to qualify for the Water District’s rebate. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the District office 916-991-1000.
