THE CITY OF Chapter 9 Demand Management Measures PL£ASANTON. 9.2.7 Other Demand Management Measures In addition to the six DMMs described above, the City also implements the following programs: • Water -Efficient Landscape Program • Controller Assistance Program • Free indoor Water -efficient Device Program • Free water Conservation Lavatory Signs • Rebate Programs • Recycled Water Program These programs have all been active within the last five years and help the City achieve its water use targets by incentivizing customers to increase water efficiency. Each program is described below. 9.2.7.1 Water -Efficient Landscape Program The City offers $0.25 per square foot to residential customers and $0.50 per square foot to irrigation customers who replace existing front lawns or sidewalk visible lawns with water -efficient, drought tolerant landscaping. This rebate program can be combined with Zone 7's Water -Efficient Lawn Conversion Rebate, such that customers can get up to $1,000 (Residential) or $5,500 (Commercial/ Irrigation) by participating in both programs. Irrigation meter customers participating in the City's Water -Efficient Landscape Program are eligible for rebates towards qualifying water efficient irrigation equipment utilized on the converted landscape area. Refer to Section 9.2.7.5.2 for details. 9.2.7.2 Controller Assistance Program The City offers free controller assistance visits to residential and non-residential water customers. This service includes a walkthrough site/irrigation system evaluation of the customer's property and irrigation controller programming assistance. The Controller Assistance Program is open to all water customers with landscaping that are responsible for the property water bill. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, in 2020 the Controller Assistance Program transitioned into "virtual service visits." Utilizing video calling, water conservation staff continue to provide this service to City water customers upon request. 9.2.7.3 Free Indoor Water -Efficient Device Program Homes built prior to 1992 may not have water -efficient indoor plumbing, such as low flow showerheads, low flush toilets, or faucet aerators. The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 1992 required 1.6 gallon -per -flush toilets, 2.5 gallon -per -minute (gpm) showerheads, and 2.5 gpm faucets to be used after January 1994. In 2002, to promote indoor water conservation, the City piloted a free water -efficient showerhead program to residential customers; however, the showerheads were not well received, likely due to poor aesthetic appeal, and the program has been discontinued for a number of years.
