Multi-family Rebates

UPDATE: Starting September 21, 2009 at 9:00 am, the Save A Buck program re-launches for Southern California commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-family water customers. The program has been modified to continue promoting installation of water-saving devices while working within a reduced budget. For more information about program modifications, please click here.

The Save A Buck Rebate program has transitioned to a Rebate Reservation System. A rebate reservation is now required in order to be eligible for rebates. When rebate reservations are available, Commercial and Multi-family end users, or property / business owners may request a reservation using the online reservation form at www.mwdsaveabuck.com (phone reservations are no longer accepted) to reserve rebate funds for qualifying water efficient technologies offered through the program. Property management entities are permitted to make the reservation. Devices can only be purchased after receiving a rebate reservation confirmation. Click here to review Program Terms & Conditions.

To qualify for the program, complexes must have a total of 5 units or more, or be represented by an HOA or Property Management Company with a combined total of 5 units or more.

Note: Single Family Detached Homes, Duplexes, Triplexes and Fourplexes are NOT eligible for rebates through ‘Save A Buck’, but may qualify through the SoCal Water$mart residential rebate program.
