REBATES
Whether its about saving the world or saving a few bucks, changing out high-use fixtures and appliances for more efficient ones saves water for now and for later.
Now that makes sense.
Who Qualifies?
All PAWSD customers
How Does it all Work?
Fill out the rebate form (download below), bring PAWSD your receipt and old appliance/fixture and we will issue the rebate amount in the form of a CREDIT to your current bill. Its that easy.
*The program runs on a first come first served basis until the allotted funds have been exhausted. Don't delay.
TOILET REBATES - 2 options to chose from
2009 Toilet Rebate Program Application
Option #1
$75 credit for the purchase of a Low-Flow (1.28 gpf or less) Toilet. This rebate also applies to Urinals so long as the fixture is either waterless or uses less than 16 oz (1 pint) per flush.
Option #2
$125 credit for the purchase of a High Efficiency Toilet (HET). HET's are hybrid toilets that use 1.28 gpf or less and employ power flush, dual flush or flapperless technologies.
WASHING MACHINE REBATE
2009 Clothes Washer Rebate Program Application
High-efficiency washing machines use approximately 25 gallons per load verses 40-50 gallons per load for older top loading machines. Not only will you save on water, but you'll also save on detergent, energy, lifespan of clothing, and money.
$125 credit to offset the cost of the new clothes washer.
2008 Water Conservation Plan
