Palmdale Water District Sponsors Cash for Grass program


admin May 19, 2011

PALMDALE, CA May 19, 2011- PWD has been sponsoring a “Cash for Grass” program for customers within the Palmdale Water District service area for two years. On May 25, 2011, three customers will be presented with certificates of appreciation and rebate checks from the District for converting their yards into water wise landscapes. The District would like to thank Larry & Mattie Thompson, Elsie and Lorenso Gaubo and John and Stacy Nemth for completing the “Cash for Grass” program.

The District has approximately 112 customers that have signed up for the program and approximately 29 have completed their water wise landscapes and received checks from the District. The City of Palmdale and the Palmdale School District have also signed up to convert some of their landscapes into water wise areas.

The PWD urges its customers to find ways to use water more efficiently with one or more of the rebates the District has to offer.

  1. Cash for Grass- Renovate your landscape into a beautiful water wise landscape.
  2. MP Rotators- Renovate your pop-up sprinkler heads to MP rotators, which will bring up the efficiency of your irrigation system.
  3. Smart Controllers- Change out your timer/controller to a SWAT tested smart controller that waters the amount of water your landscape needs, not what you think it needs!
  4. Washing Machines-change out the old washer for a new 5.0 or less water factor washing machine.
  5. Toilets- Change out that old toilet for an HET 1.28 gpf or dual flush toilet.

Call (661) 456-1020 for more information on PWD’s rebate programs. About Palmdale Water District

Way to go PWD‼️

PWD’s landmark 237-ft wind turbine is officially being decommissioned. 🌬️
Crews began removing the three 85-ft blades today, with the tower set to come down next week.

After two decades on the Palmdale skyline and years of supporting the Leslie O. Carter Water Treatment Plant with renewable power, the turbine has reached the end of its lifespan.

PWD is now shifting toward two new solar projects planned to power both our treatment plant and main office. 🌞

Los equipos han comenzado hoy a retirar las tres palas de 85 pies, y la torre se desmontará la próxima semana.

Después de dos décadas en el horizonte de Palmdale y años de apoyo a la planta de tratamiento de agua Leslie O. Carter con energía renovable, la turbina ha llegado al final de su vida útil.

PWD ahora está cambiando hacia dos nuevos proyectos solares previstos para alimentar tanto nuestra planta de tratamiento y la oficina principal. 🌞

All good things eventually come to an end. This landmark is one of them.

Save a souvenir from it for a long lost palmdale official that led the fight, spending a fortune to stop that!
