10,000 Rain Gardens Project
MMWD is partnering with the Salmon Protection and Watershed Network (SPAWN) on the 10,000 Rain Gardens Project, a new community-based rainwater harvesting program. Learn more, find resources, and see upcoming tours and workshops at raingardens.spawnusa.org.
Do-It-Yourself Home Water Survey
Our “Do-It-Yourself Home Water Survey” will guide you through activities to find out how to save water at your home. Follow the steps to check for indoor and outdoor leaks, measure flow rates of your indoor plumbing fixtures, evaluate the efficiency of your irrigation system, and more. Find the DIY Survey here.
Note: MMWD’s rebate programs are currently suspended. The Board of Directors plans to adopt a revised 2010-11 fiscal year budget on August 18 and will consider what level of funding, if any, will be available for rebates. For updates, please check back after August 18. Thank you.
MMWD supports "Save Our Water," a statewide public education program designed to encourage Californians to make water conservation an everyday habit.
