If you are
considering updating any of your rental units, be sure to take advantage of
some of the water conservation rebate programs being offered during our
drought. Here are several that I came across:
Santa Clara
Water District: http://www.valleywater.org/programs/rebates.aspx
The Santa
Clara Valley Water District is offering rebates to Santa Clara County
residents, businesses, and agencies for the following:
·
Installing
qualifying High Efficiency Toilets (HETs) that save, water, energy, and money

businesses, and institutions that convert qualifying high water using landscape
