SAN DIEGO — Point-of-purchase vouchers currently offered by the San Diego County Water Authority and its member agencies to reduce out-of-pocket cost when purchasing water-efficient equipment will only be honored until June 30.

Beginning July 1, customers will use rebate applications to receive incentive discounts.

The change applies to single-family, multifamily, commercial, industrial and institutional properties that purchase authorized indoor water-saving products, ranging from toilets and urinals to HVAC system pH conductivity controllers and clothes washers.

Single-family homeowners who purchase irrigation efficiency with smart controllers, rotating irrigation nozzles and artificial turf are also affected.

“We’re continuing our commitment to help residents and businesses increase their water efficiency,” said Toby Roy, Water Resources Manager of the Water Authority. “We’ll be joining the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California’s rebate programs on July 1, which will increase the amount of funding available in San Diego County.”

An exception to the June 30 deadline is the Water Authority’s vouchers for smart irrigation controllers offered to multifamily, commercial, industrial and institutional properties. These water customers may continue to request and use the point-of-purchase voucher discount.
