Saving Water and Money Simultaneously

04/23/2015

It is impossible to ignore the fact that our area is experiencing an extreme drought. It’s frightening and consequences are looming – many of them financial. Luckily, there are many steps that people can take to both conserve water and save money. Among these are some incredible rebate programs offered by the Cities of Arroyo Grande & Pismo Beach.

Water-Saving Rebate Programs

  1. Cash for Grass -The new (and hopefully lasting) trend in landscaping is a movement away from grass and toward native and drought tolerant plants. Both Arroyo Grande and Pismo Beach offer rebates for removing “turf” from their property—private or otherwise.
  2. Rebate for Water Efficient Washing Machine - If you’ve been thinking about replacing your washing machine, now is as good as of a time as ever! Arroyo Grande and Pismo Beach both offer rebates toward the purchase of a qualified washing machine. Water efficient models will become even more valuable and save you money as this drought continues and water prices rise.
  3. Smart Irrigation Controller Program - Did you know that a new generation of irrigation controllers are available that will automatically adjust according to site and weather conditions? Not only will it make your life easier but both Arroyo Grande and Pismo Beach offer cost-saving measures to help you upgrade. Can’t get much better than that!

Have you already taken advantage of some of these programs? Great! Luckily, water conservation doesn’t have to stop there. There are a myriad of ways that local consumers can minimize their water usage. Our website offers many ideas to help you save in the home, outside, or at work.

It’s just a beginning, but if everyone gains awareness of their water consumption and takes some steps to improve it, we’ll be well on our way to meeting our water conservation goals.

Ready to take the plunge? Pledge to do your part. Each of us can save 325 gallons of water (10 gallons/day) by taking simple steps.
