Commercial Business, CII & public agencies

Commercial Rebates & Incentives

Businesses, HOAs, schools, public agencies and other non-residential customers can receive rebates and custom incentives for qualifying projects.

Typical commercial rebates may cover:

High-efficiency toilets, urinals and plumbing fixtures
HVAC and cooling tower upgrades
Commercial kitchen & food-service equipment
Medical and dental equipment
Smart irrigation controllers & rotating nozzles
Turf replacement and landscape transformation projects (higher incentive levels are available for non-residential properties)

Custom projects that save water may qualify under the Water Savings Incentive Program (WSIP), which bases incentives on the volume of water saved over the project life.

Turf Replacement Program (Residential & Commercial)

The Turf Replacement Program provides rebates to remove existing grass and replace it with water-efficient landscaping. Requirements typically include:

Removing existing turf grass in the project area
Planting California Friendly® and native plants
Including a stormwater retention feature (e.g., swales, rain garden, rain barrels)
Using permeable hardscape materials where possible
Upgrading to efficient irrigation where overhead spray is removed

Rebate amounts (per square foot) and maximum project sizes differ for residential and commercial customers and may be increased with additional incentives from your local water agency. Always confirm current program details before starting work.
