BRIDGE Housing
BRIDGE Housing, a community housing non-profit, participated in EBMUD’s On-Bill Financing Program to finance plumbing fixture upgrades at their senior housing property in Emeryville, CA. Through the program, BRIDGE Housing installed:
- 50 high-efficiency toilets measuring .8 gallon per flush (gpf)
- 13 bathroom faucet aerators measuring 1 gallon per minute (gpm)
BRIDGE Housing paid for 1/3 of the upgrades upfront and financed 2/3 of the project on their EBMUD bill.
