Rebates and Programs
Western Water is committed to providing our customers with the tools and resources needed to take control of their water use. We partner with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California to promote several regional indoor and outdoor rebate opportunities.

Indoor Rebates
Together, toilets and clothes washers account for approximately 45% of the water used inside your home. Replacement of your inefficient clothes washer or toilet may contribute to water savings and a reduced water bill.
- $350 for a qualifying high-efficiency clothes washer
- $250 for a qualifying premium high-efficiency toilet
Outdoor Rebates
Up to 70% of California's entire residential water supply is applied to home landscapes, yet many landscapes are overwatered due to sprinkler controllers that are not programmed properly. The following outdoor products and devices are designed to reduce waste, usage, and homeowner costs.
- Up to $300 for a qualifying weather-based irrigation controller
- $5 for each rotating sprinkler nozzle
- $35 per rain barrel and $250 per cistern
Turf Replacement Program
The Turf Replacement Program takes a multi-pronged approach to maximize water use and efficiency. Removing turf grass is one of the most water-conscious adjustments a homeowner can make to reduce their water usage and associated costs.
- Western Water offers an additional $3 per square foot, on top of what MWD offers, for the first 1,000 square feet of turf removed.
- Rebates are secured by making a reservation through theSoCalWater$mart website. When you enter your Western Water customer information, your rebate will automatically display the qualifying rebate amount.
