Water resources in Southern California are limited. Ninety-percent of the region's water is imported from either the Colorado River or Northern California through the State Water Project. Meeting water needs now and in the future calls for aggressive conservation measures. Since 1992 Olivenhain Municipal Water District (OMWD) has offered assistance with indoor water conservation by offering vouchers for ultra-low flush toilets and other devices, but the time has come to focus on outdoor water use. As much as 80% of residential water use occurs outside the home.
Vouchers
In October 2004, the Board of Directors of the OMWD elected to focus our conservation efforts on outside water use programs such as the landscape workshops and the new California-friendly landscape makeover. Vouchers are available for water-saving devices such as washing machines, commercial dishwashers and x-ray machines. Vouchers work like coupons and must be used at the time of purchase.

Funding for the $1.00 per square foot incentive (minimum 300 sq ft / maximum 1,000 sq ft) is limited and is provided on a first come, first served basis.
