Businesses Have Evolved

About half of the water in our county is used by multi-family properties and commercial, industrial, and institutional organizations. Much of this water could be saved if businesses replaced lawns with beautiful low-water-use plants, upgraded their irrigation systems or adopted water-efficient technologies.

Valley Water offers rebates and programs to help you save water and money while demonstrating that your business is a water conservation leader. If you are ready to make a difference in your community, we are here to help.

This new direct installation program helps your business or facility retrofit plumbing fixtures free of charge.

Receive up to $100,000 for installing equipment that results in measurable water savings. Projects can include cooling tower efficiency upgrades, on-site water reuse, process water efficiency improvements and more.
