Rebates & Programs
Turf Removal Program
If you are a resident in San Benito County contact us for more information about our Turf Removal Program. Get up to $2 per Square Foot for up to 1,000 Square Feet. Our program allows you to save money when you replace your lawn with water resistant plants or landscaping.
Water Softener Rebate
WRASBC offers two different rebate program options for the elimination or replacement of water softener. Most Water Softeners use roughly 75 gallons of water during regeneration. Waste water from Water Softeners contains 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
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 - Deliver the old toilets to the SBCWD at 30 Mansfield Rd., 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.

Landscape Hardware Rebate
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.
