REPLACE YOUR TOILET AND RECEIVE UP TO $100
The Department of Water Resources (DWR) has a rebate program that provides rebates for replacing toilets at California single-family residences to support the State’s Drought response.
The $6 million program budget is expected to support the replacement of 60,000 toilets throughout the state. Up to $100 will be rebated for purchase and installation of one qualified high-efficiency toilet (1.28 gallons per flush or less) per household that replaces a less-efficient toilet (using more than 1.6 gallons per flush).
The public deals directly with the State on this program.

REPLACE YOUR TURF GRASS AND RECEIVE A REBATE OF UP TO $2,000!
The Department of Water Resources (DWR) has a rebate program for removing turf and replacing it with landscapes that require little water at California single-family residences to support the State’s Drought response. For more information on the program’s history, go to the DWR turf site at http://www.water.ca.gov/turf/.
The $24 million program budget is expected to support the conversion of more than 10 million square feet of turf, or approximately 20 percent of the statewide goal of 50 million square feet of turf. Up to $2 per square foot of removed and replaced turf will be rebated per eligible household. The total rebated amount, including any rebates the homeowner already has received from another agency, can’t exceed a total of $2 per square foot.
