Water Use Efficiency Rebates

As extreme drought grips the Southwest, businesses across California are taking a variety of water-saving actions. In fact, the State of California has banned watering grass in commercial-industrial-institutional settings that is “solely ornamental” and not regularly used for recreational purposes or community events.


Thankfully, the San Diego County Water Authority and its 24-member agencies offer incentives such as rebates and other resources to help businesses save money while saving water.


There are many incentives for business property owners. From turf conversions to increasing the use of recycled water, there are numerous opportunities to improve water efficiency on commercial properties

As drought conditions worsen in California, the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority is partnering with the San Dieguito and Olivenhain Municipal water districts to expand water recycling in north San Diego County. 

The three districts’ cooperation in the planning and building of recycled water infrastructure dates to the early 1990s. Today, the agencies are planning a $2.2 million rehabilitation of the Wanket Reservoir. The San Dieguito and Olivenhain water districts built the 3-million-gallon reservoir in 1974.

Encinitas Chamber of Commerce and Partners - Opportunities for Corporate Involvement: SDNEDC and Partners Launch Student Opportunities for Career Awareness and Learning
One of the biggest challenges holding back North County’s economy is the difficulty many companies face finding and recruiting talent. With unemployment in the region standing at 4.6% and with even more pronounced shortages in fields that require technical proficiencies, it is among the most important issues that SDNEDC will be addressing in 2022.

Part of that effort will center around SOCAL (Student Opportunities for Career Awareness and Learning), a collaborative project between Tri-City Medical Center, SDNEDC, and 6 chambers (Encinitas, Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, San Marcos & Escondido). The goal of SOCAL is to raise awareness among young adults about different careers they might not know about and provide some of the resources and educational pathways that can help them pursue the opportunities. 

The first phase is a searchable website with short video interviews from a variety of workers. We encourage you to take some time and explore the site and watch some of the videos.

Should your company be interested in participating as we build out the library, please contact admin@encinitaschamber.com. We have attractive sponsorship packages that will produce three videos of different team members and then elevate the visibility of various job postings and opportunities at your firm. The goal of SOCAL is to have 100 different North County workers highlighted by the end of the year.
