After a brief summer vacation, MWD has restored funding for its popular water-saving rebate programs, which are offered in partnership with andco-funded by PWP.

Pasadena residential customers can once again apply for rebates on smart irrigation controllers ($150) and rotating sprinkler heads ($5 each) for outdoor water savings, plus high-efficiency toilets (up to $50) and washing machines ($100) through MWD’s SoCal Water$mart program. Residential customers may now apply for rebates on synthetic turf at 60¢ per square foot. The latest models offer the look and feel of real grass with very low maintenance, weather resistance, durability in high-traffic areas, year-round color and, best of all, zero water needs.

Reservations for residential customers are no longer required but funding is limited and rewarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit www.cityofpasadena.net/savewater or call (888) 376-3314.
