$100 Washer Rebate

Get a $100 rebate from the Water Resources Association of San Benito County when you purchase a High-Efficiency clothes washer.

• Residential customers are limited to one clothes washer rebate per household.
• Rebate application must be filled out completely and returned with a copy of the sales receipt and recent water bill to the Water Resources Association no later than September 30, 2009. To qualify purchase by 10/1/08 must submit application no later than 9/30/09

Procedure

1. Purchase and install your new clothes washer. Verify with the appliance retailer that the clothes washer you are purchasing qualifies as an ENERGY STAR labeled appliance.
2. Complete the rebate form (available below). Attach a copy of the sales receipt showing the model of the washing machine and date of purchase. Include a copy of a recent water bill. Return to the Water Resources Association for processing.
3. A representative of the Water Resources Association will contact you and verify installation of the qualifying clothes washer. Allow 4 weeks from the date of inspection to receive your rebate check.

Note: This program provides financial assistance to customers wishing to purchase water-conserving clothes washers for their home or business. The Water Resources Association does not endorse or recommend specific brands, products or dealers. Selection and installation of the appliance is the sole responsibility of the applicant, as is determination of the adequacy and compatibility of their existing plumbing system. The Association assumes no responsibility for any damage that may occur to an applicant's property as a result of participation in this rebate program. Due to circumstances beyond its control, the Association cannot guarantee that the installation of the clothes washer will result in lower utility costs.
