Residential Programs
West Basin Municipal Water District provides potable water to almost a million people in 17 cities and several unincorporated areas in the coastal Los Angeles area. With close to 100,000 acre-feet (34 billion gallons) of water used in this area annually, and water supply cutbacks on the horizon, there are many opportunities to reduce water use at home. Be sure to take our Home Conservation Tour, available from our home page or from the button to your right.
West Basin offers programs that target both indoor and outdoor water use. Below is a list of programs for qualifying residents in West Basin's service area to conserve water, energy, and money.
