In 2008, Gov. Schwarzenegger signed a law known as SB7x7, which requires California to achieve a 20% reduction in water use by the year 2020. This means that your water department, SBMWD, must reduce demand by an estimated 9,500 acre feet (more than 3 billion gallons) a year by 2020. Working together with our customers, we can achieve this goal. By installing water efficient appliances and fixtures, indoors and outdoors, both residential and commercial customers can save money and water. Click below to see the details on any of our rebates:
