Conservation incentive programs transition to Metropolitan rebates
To
assist customers in purchasing water-efficient devices, Helix Water
District participated in a regional voucher program that began in
the early 1990s and was administered by the San Diego County Water
Authority. That program ended June 30, however.
The district is participating in a larger rebate program administered
by Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Met). This
will give a higher level of service to our customers by offering
a rebate on a variety of conservation devices for residential and
commercial properties, both indoors and out.
See our conservation page
for general information and links to specific programs. See details

allocate supplies in the future."
