Before sending in your application, verify your water provider does participate in our rebate program, otherwise your application will be denied. Smart Rebates offered through all CAL AM districts (Coronado, Larkfield, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Village) have ended.
Note: If you have purchased a washing machine the Integrated Water Factor must be 3.7 or less.
If you have purchased a toilet, your home must be built before 1992 to qualify.
Smart Rebates is a statewide program administer by the California Water Efficiency Partnership that offers a list of measures for conservation product and appliance rebates.
The Smart Rebates Program is made possible with funding assistance from participating water utilities.
Rebate good on purchases made between July 1, 2013 to the present or until rebate funds are depleted, whichever comes first. Rebates funds are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Rebate funds are reserved for each customer at the time the application is submitted. The rebate amount will not exceed the total cost of the new device excluding tax, except as otherwise noted. Rebate checks will be issued for completed applications only.

High-Efficiency Residential Clothes Washers (HEWs) utilize technological advances to deliver excellent wash performance while saving both water and energy. Resource efficient models use 35-50% less water and approximately 50% less energy. The water efficiency of clothes washers is rated using the term “water factor” to describe and compare its water use. Water factor is measured by the quantity of water (gallons) used to wash each cubic foot of laundry. A lower water factor represents greater water and energy efficiency. Washers must have a water factor of 3.7 or less to qualify.
High-Efficiency Residential Toilets (HETs) are defined as fixtures that flush at 20 percent below the 1.6-gallons-per-flush (gpf) U.S. maximum or less, equating to a maximum of 1.28-gpf. (The HET category includes dual-flush toilets). The average water savings for HETs is estimated to be 38 gallons per day (gpd) when replacing a non-ULFT and 7 gpd when replacing a ULFT. Home must be built before 1992 to qualify.
High-Efficiency Commercial Clothes Washers (HEWs) utilize technological advances to deliver excellent wash performance while saving both water and energy. Resource efficient models use 35-50% less water and approximately 50% less energy. The water efficiency of clothes washers is rated using the term “water factor” to describe and compare its water use. Water factor is measured by the quantity of water (gallons) used to wash each cubic foot of laundry. A lower water factor represents greater water and energy efficiency. Washers must have a water factor of 3.7 or less to qualify.
High-Efficiency Commercial Toilets (HETs) are defined as fixtures that flush at 20 percent below the 1.6-gallons-per-flush (gpf) U.S. maximum or less, equating to a maximum of 1.28-gpf. (The HET category includes dual-flush toilets). The average water savings for HETs is estimated to be 38 gallons per day (gpd) when replacing a non-ULFT and 7 gpd when replacing a ULFT.
High-Efficiency Urinals (HEUs) are defined a fixtures that function at 0.5-gpf or less. (The HEU category includes non-water urinals.) Based on data from studies of actual usage, these urinals save 20,000 gallons of water per year with an estimated 20-year life. In addition to saving water and sewer costs, non-water urinals are an improvement over traditional urinals in both maintenance and hygiene.
Pressurized Waterbrooms – When you use a hose and nozzle to clean sidewalks, you are using anywhere from 8 to 18 gallons of water per minute. With pressurized a Waterbroom, you will clean more efficiently and use as little as 2.8 gallons of water per minute. The Waterbroom nozzle jets use a combination of air and water pressure, allowing the work area to dry in minutes, helping to reduce liabilities. This new water-saving technology cleans and removes dirt and food spills from concrete, asphalt or any other composite surface. Studies have shown that the Waterbroom requires 75% less labor to operate than a garden hose or broom.
