Water Savings Incentive Program (WSIP)

Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, administered by SoCal Water$mart · Southern California: six counties, 26 member agencies

This program pays for performance on custom non-residential water-efficiency projects, including irrigation improvements on golf courses and large landscapes.

Up to $0.60 per 1,000 gallons saved each year, for up to 10 years. Payments are capped at 50% of eligible project costs.

  • • The application must be approved before installation.
  • • The project must save at least 10 million gallons over its life.
  • • You need three years of water-use history to set a baseline.
  • • Part of the payment comes at installation, and the rest after one year of verified savings.
  • • Funding is limited and given first-come, first-served.

These are for reference. Each district decides eligibility and amounts, and GroundWorx approval is confirmed only for Metropolitan's WSIP. We'll add more districts over time.
