MPWMD Rebate Program
The Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) recently updated its rebate program. In an effort to see an increase in water conservation on the Monterey Peninsula, the California Public Utilities Commission approved funding for a 3 year conservation program designed to save 400-800 acre feet annually. The updated Rebate Program (Ordinance 140) is a result of that initiative.
Below is a brief summary of the program, which will take effect January 1, 2010.
