MWD stops paying rebates for water-saving devices

From the Los Angeles Times:

A cash-strapped conservation credit program run by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has stopped paying vendors and customers for installing water-saving toilets and appliances. Though the program has been deemed highly successful, demand for the rebates has increased threefold over the last two years.

In May, the water district moved to suspend the program, said Bob Muir, a spokesman for it.

The incentive program provides rebates to customers and vendors such as ReGreen Corp., a Los Angeles-based company that installs water-efficient devices, including toilets and washing machines, for clients. The district sells water to 26 public agencies in Southern California.

“We weren’t able to keep up with the demand that was coming in,” Muir said.
