WASHING MACHINE
WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM
Water Conservation Program Manager:
WaterRebates@pismobeach.org
This program is subject to change without notice and is subject to the availability of funding.
Program Goal:
The intent of the Water Efficient Washing Machine Rebate Program is to encourage the use of water efficient appliances,
with the added benefits of energy efficiencies– to save water.
Background:
More than 20% of all water consumed in a home is used in the washing machine. Running a conventional washing machine
can use more than 50 gallons of water per cycle. However, there are high-efficiency models that use 50% less water and
energy. Most full-sized high-efficiency clothes washers use 18-25 gallons of water per load. Receive up to a $150 rebate
with the purchase of a new energy and water efficient washing machine. Continue to save money each month on your
water and energy bills!
Rebate Amount for a Water Efficient Washing Machine
If all of the terms and conditions are satisfied, receive a $150 reimbursement for the purchase and installation of a CCE
(Consortium for Energy Efficiency) tier 3 washing machine. The rebate will be mailed to the customer after all
requirements have been met. For current list of qualifying washers, see www.waterenergysavings.com.
