Conserving & Recycling
EBMUD has one of the largest water conservation programs in California and in 1994 was one of the first water utilities in the nation to develop a water conservation master plan.
Water recycling is part of EBMUD’s water supply planning, as any demand met with recycled or non-potable water reduces the demand for higher-quality potable drinking water.
Residential
Residential
customers can receive free information and devices to help them save water and
rebates for installing water-efficient toilets, clothes washers, and landscapes.
Non-Residential
Commercial
customers may qualify for rebates for installing water-saving fixtures or
equipment or for increasing the efficiency of on-site water use including
water-using manufacturing processes.
Recycling
EBMUD uses recycled water and water from local
reservoirs as sources of non-potable water. Recycled or reclaimed water is
wastewater that has been highly treated and disinfected to meet strict
California Department of Health Services regulations.
