We’ll spread your knowledge and help others save. Send an e-mail or call (925) 688-8175.

Wait for Home Water Surveys Shorter Now

One of our most popular and useful services is the free Home Water Use Survey, where one of our water-saving experts will come to your home and show you how to save water.We’ve been offering these free surveys for more than 10 years. When the Drought Management Program was first announced in the spring, many people signed up and we had a long waiting list. We’ve worked our way through the list, and now the wait is much more manageable. Even if you had a survey a few years ago, and feel you might need a refresher, we’ll be happy to come back to your home and fine tune your water saving efforts. This is what we’ll do in the free survey

Our New Water Calculator Helps Fine Tune Your Water Savings

If you’ve had a home water survey done, you know exactly how much water each of your irrigation systems uses per minute. Now, you can easily use that information – and our new online calculator – to fine tune your watering schedule, and know exactly how much water you’re saving.

Just enter the figures, and we’ll do the math instantly. You can make adjustments, and see how those ideas affect your water use.


More, More, More 'Mulch, Mulch, Mulch' Coupons

Last month, we introduced our “Mulch, Mulch, Mulch” program, in which you can print a coupon to get a discount on the price of mulch, which will save a lot of water in your garden.

Since then, we’ve added seven new locations and even better coupons, including Orchard Supply Hardware’s three stores within the District, four local Navlet’s centers and Village Nurseries in Brentwood. We’ve got coupons that will give you substantial discounts, whether you’re buying mulch in bulk or in bags.

Our Smart Car Wash discount program continues as well. You can use these coupons as often as you like to save money and water.
