LADWP, in conjunction with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), offer the SoCal WaterSmart Rebate Program, a water conservation program for our residential, multi-family owners, commercial, and industrial customers to promote the use of water conservation products. The SoCal Water$mart Rebate Program promotes reducing water use region-wide. Help conserve this vital resource by purchasing and installing qualifying products in your home. To view a list of rebate offerings, go to Residential or Commercial rebates.
