toilet (HET). HETs use 1.28 gallons per flush or less.

old toilet and determine its flush volume. Rebates are only
offered for the replacement of an older inefficient toilet
(using 3.5 gallons per flush or more) with a new HET .

Commercial Clothes Washers
BAWSCA’s High Efficiency Commercial Clothes Washer Rebate Program
Starting in July 2007, BAWSCA will join an existing energy rebate program being implemented by PG&E. BAWSCA will join the program to offer a water rebate in addition to the energy rebate in participating agencies service areas.
This program is designed to encourage the replacement of inefficient, top-loading washers in commercial settings with more efficient washers. Efficient washers use less electricity, substantially less water and, by extension, less gas to heat the water along with reduced flows to sewer. Consequently, these efficient washers have the potential to reduce combined utility costs by as much as 50%.
Participating BAWSCA member agencies will offer a water rebate of $220 in addition to the $130 offered by PG&E.
To qualify for a rebate, the commercial washer must:
- Be installed in PG&E territory
- Be purchased or leased after August 30, 2006 and prior to September 30, 2008 or until funds are depleted.
- Be installed in non-single-family facilities such as laundromats, multi-family housing laundry areas, student housing, and hotels or motels.
- New washers must be replacing a less efficient model.
- New washers must be on the Consortium for Energy Efficiency Qualifying Product List.

BAWSCA’s Large Landscape Audit Program
This BAWSCA program is implemented through participating BAWSCA member agencies; BAWSCA does not offer the program directly to business or individuals.
The Large Landscape Audit Program offers is a “turn-key” program that enables the participating BAWSCA agency to meet the requirements of the California Urban Water Conservation Council’s Best Management Practice (BMP) #5 in a cost-effective manner.
The program offers services for the
development and monthly distribution of landscape water budgets
for selected accounts and actual large landscape surveys to
assess landscape watering needs. A key component of
the program is ongoing monitoring/tracking of actual water
use and estimated water savings for the sites surveyed.
