Applications Now Open for Free Commercial Water Use Survey

For a limited time, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is providing free in-person commercial large landscape surveys for properties in the Rainbow Water service area.

In addition, Mission Resource Conservation District offers the Water Efficiency Technical Assistance Program (WETA), a free irrigation efficiency analysis for growers.

The surveys provide customers with recommendations to improve outdoor landscape and indoor wateruse to reduce water waste and make their businesses, homes and properties more efficient. 

Surveys are conducted with assistance from the customer, and only one survey is available per property for the life of the program. The property must be located within Metropolitan’s service area for the water use survey or North San Diego County for the WETA survey.

How the Commercial Survey Works

A certified landscape auditor will conduct a comprehensive review of the irrigation system, including but not limited to: breaks, controllers,  drainage, leaks, irrigation scheduling, site conditions, system pressure, and valve functions. Participants will receive a written report that includes data collected during the survey with recommendations for site irrigation efficiency including system repairs, equipment updates, and irrigation scheduling. 

The WETA Program expands the audit to include growers with or without wells, reviews pump efficiency and provides a complete analysis with eligibility for irrigation upgrades and farm improvements from the Natural Resource Conservation Service.
