KEEP CONSERVING
SAVE WATER AND REPLACE OLD PLUMBING
FIXTURES — IT’S THE LAW!
Even with some relief this winter, the historic drought has demonstrated that we
must be prepared for more frequent dry periods. To help stretch our water
supply, our call for a 10% voluntary reduction in water use remains in place, as
well as mandates to replace old, inefficient plumbing fixtures. Wasteful outdoor
uses, including hosing down sidewalks and irrigation overspray, are prohibited,
and can be reported by calling or clicking 311.
There are many ways you can save water, including:
• Monitor your water usage at myaccount.sfwater.org to track your conservation
efforts and detect leaks.
• Take advantage of our conservation offerings such as free showerheads, faucet
aerators, water-wise evaluations and rebates for up to $500 per qualifying
fixture.
Water-conserving toilets, urinals, showerheads, and faucets are required by law.
Commercial property owners have until January 1, 2017 to file an affidavit of
compliance with the Department of Building Inspection.
Apply soon! Toilet and urinal rebate programs end December 31, 2016.
