Get Green for Going Green. El Cajon residents and businesses have a unique opportunity to embrace sustainable water practices and enhance their surroundings through rebates offered by the Helix Water District and the Padre Dam Municipal Water District. These programs extend a helping hand to those seeking to transform their outdoor spaces by replacing traditional grass lawns with drought-tolerant landscapes. By making this shift, participants not only reduce water consumption but also create visually appealing, low-maintenance environments that thrive in the region’s arid climate. Additionally, the rebates support the installation of water-retaining mulches, a crucial element in retaining moisture and nurturing plant growth, while promoting a culture of responsible water management. Furthermore, both water districts encourage the installation of water- efficient irrigation systems, ensuring that every drop of water counts. This initiative aligns with the pressing need for water conservation in drought- prone regions like El Cajon, allowing residents and businesses to play an active role in safeguarding this precious resource. By taking advantage of these rebates, the local community can collectively contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future, fostering a sense of environmental responsibility and demonstrating the power of small actions in making a significant impact.
