\nIncentives Now Available for Garden Conversions and Drip Irrigation
\n<\/h2>\n

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Water conservation is increasingly important as the drought continues, and California Water Service (Cal Water) is expanding its efforts to help customers save water every day. The utility announced today the launch of its lawn-to-garden and spray-to-drip rebates, two new programs that offer incentives for Cal Water customers to make their landscaping and irrigation systems as efficient as possible.<\/p>\n

Cal Water\u2019s lawn-to-garden program offers a rebate of $3 per square foot of lawn removed. At least 50 percent of the grass removed must be converted to landscaping utilizing California-friendly, drought-tolerant plant material. Artificial\/synthetic turf, lawn that is already dead, or grass previously removed do not qualify for the rebate.<\/p>\n

The spray-to-drip program provides a rebate of $0.50 per square foot of landscaping converted from a standard spray irrigation system to a drip system, as drip irrigation uses 20 to 50 percent less water compared to sprinklers. Drip equipment must be on Cal Water\u2019s Qualified Product List to be eligible for the incentive.<\/p>\n

Both programs are available to single-family residential, multi-family residential, and commercial customers. Cal Water customers can visit calwater.com\/conservation<\/strong> for detailed information on these programs and to apply.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur customers have already been taking smart steps to conserve water during the drought, and we want to provide additional ways to help them use water wisely,\u201d said Martin A. Kropelnicki, President and CEO. \u201cThese new programs will make it even easier for Cal Water customers to beautify their landscapes while simultaneously reducing water use and saving money, all reflective of our commitment to deliver quality, service, and value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Cal Water encourages customers to utilize its other industry-leading conservation programs to help conserve water. The utility offers:<\/p>\n
