The SCVWD has been a leader in water conservation and through its programs it saved over 19.5 billion gallons in FY 07/08. Its programs are a mix of incentives, such as rebates, free water saving devices and home and site visits, and education to help customers cut water use. One example is the district's high-efficiency toilet program, which has installed 10,500 toilets in the last five years, saving 113 million gallons. The SCVWD has also provided recycled water and encouraged its use throughout the county to reduce demand on traditional sources. Its water conservation efforts since 1992 have saved 1.42 billion kWh and prevented the emissions of over 700 million pounds of GHG.
