Recirc & Save Program

Incentives are also provided to manufacturers to replace water-wasting equipment with water-efficient, water recirculation equipment. For more information, please contact Elise Goldman at West Basin at 310-660-6253.

The Complete Restroom Retrofit program replaces water-wasting devices with High-Efficiency Toilets, Zero-Water Urinals, and Self-Closing Sensor Faucets to increase water-efficiency and help save businesses money on bathroom water expenses.
