Water Softener Rebate
Save Money, Save Water
WRASBC offers two different rebate programs for the elimination or replacement of your water softener. Most water softeners use roughly 75 gallons of water during regeneration. Waste water from water softeners contain high levels of sodium (salt and/or potassium) which makes it much more costly to recycle the water and negatively affects the groundwater aquifers.
Toilet Replacement or Rebate
Limit 2 free toilets per residence
Each toilet replaced will save THOUSANDS of gallons of water each year. Manufacture dates are sometimes stamped inside the tank or under the tank lid.
- Recent water bill and ID with matching address.
- Replacement of toilets older than 1992.
- Installation within 45 days of receiving it.
- Schedule a time to deliver the old toilets to the Water Resource Association located inside of the San Benito County Water District office at 30 Mansfield Road, or other designated location, or be billed for the cost of the toilet on your next water bill.
- It is the responsibility of renters to get the permission of the property owner prior to installation.
- Water Resources Association will provide all the parts necessary for a standard installation: seat, bolts, and wax ring.

Get $100 toward your hardware purchase
WRASBC offers a rebate program to purchase new/replacement landscape irrigation hardware/equipment to reduce the amount of water waste. The program includes MP Rotators by Hunter Industries, and Hose Timers and/or Rain Sensors which are on the list provided by WRASBC. The goal is to water early in the morning to minimize evaporation, never water faster than the ground can absorb the water, and adjust sprinklers to avoid watering the sidewalks and driveways.
