Long-Time Mesa Water Customer Learns the Ease of Water-Wise Rebates

Forty-two-year Costa Mesa resident and Mesa Water District (Mesa Water®) customer, Janice Daniello recently learned how easy it is to apply for a water-wise rebate. Having lived in England earlier in life, Janice takes full advantage of the warm, arid climate here in beautiful Costa Mesa. The temperate weather affords her an active outdoor lifestyle – between playing tennis and pickleball – it is no wonder she has a backyard hot tub to relax in after a day of serving, dinking and volleying on the courts.

Over the summer, Janice was reading her mail and spotted the July/August edition of News on Tap, which included an article highlighting pool cover rebates offered by Mesa Water. Janice had an aging cover on her hot tub and decided it was time for a replacement.

She visited MesaWater.org/BeMesaWaterWise and reviewed the application requirements for the cover. Next, she purchased a cover, installed it and filled out the application. She then mailed the application, along with a copy of the receipt and a photo of the installed cover and a few weeks later, received a $50 rebate check in the mail!

Since the new cover was installed, Janice has noticed it has helped keep the water warm and has reduced evaporation. She was pleased that the cover also helps keep out debris from the surrounding landscape.

When asked if Janice had any advice for other customers interested in rebates, she recommends looking at everything that is available, paying attention to any specific requirements and she of course recommends saving receipts. Janice is happy with her new hot tub cover and in the future, she plans to explore rebates for new appliances such as toilets and a washing machine when it comes time for new ones.

Mesa Water offers numerous residential rebates to help customers be more efficient with water use – and save money on your water bill. Clothes washers, toilets, rotating sprinkler nozzles, smart sprinkler timers, soil moisture sensor systems and weather-based irrigation controllers are just some of the rebates available to residential customers.

If you have rebate questions, call or email Hester “Fritz” Petropoulos, Water Use Efficiency and Education Coordinator, at 949.207.5413 or HesterP@MesaWater.org.
