Custom Rebate Application

Overview 

Marin Water commercial and multi-family customers with an active potable water service can receive a rebate for implementing water-saving upgrades not covered through any other existing rebate programs. Rebate amounts are based on 50% of project costs (excluding tax and labor) or water savings demonstrated over a 12-month period, whichever is less. Rebates for water savings are based on $3/billing unit saved. (1 billing unit = 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons).  

  • The Custom Rebate Offer applies to Marin Water commercial and multi-family customers with an active potable water service.
  • Applicants must be the Marin Water account holder and property owner, property owner with written consent from the water-bill paying tenant, or water bill-paying tenant with written consent from property owner. 
  • Only projects approved after July 1, 2024 are eligible for rebate, rebate is not retroactive and will not apply to costs incurred prior to date of application. 
  • Rebates for project costs cover the cost of equipment only, excluding tax, delivery and labor. • Equipment or technology must not be covered by any other existing Marin Water rebate program. 
  • Rebates payments will be made in two installments: 50% after installation with the remaining amount paid after one year of demonstrated water savings, provided that rebate applications seeking over $25,000 are subject to approval by the General Manger and these rebates may be paid out over a period up to five-years following installation.
  • Eligible projects must utilize water-saving equipment or technology with proven water savings and must demonstrate a reduction in existing and future demand for potable water. 
  • Projects must be initiated within 180-days of approval. Applicants may submit a request for extension prior to the original completion date. Extension may be approved at Marin Water’s sole discretion. 
  • Rebates are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability of funds. 
  • Rebate amounts and eligible projects and equipment are subject to change at any time, without prior notice. 
  • Rebates will be paid to the name of the applicant and are not subject to transfer or assignment. 
  • Rebates over $600 may be considered taxable income and a 1099 will be issued. For more information on whether your rebate check will be considered taxable income, please contact a qualified tax professional. 
  • Receipts must be legible and itemized to clearly show what has been purchased. If submitting an invoice from a contractor it must include the name and address of the contractor, itemized dollar amount of qualifying purchase(s), zero balance due, product brand, model and storage capacity. Receipts will not be returned—please make copies for your records. 
  • Equipment must be installed at the property where potable water service is provided by Marin Water. 
  • Marin Water reserves the right to request proof of installation and/or to inspect the property to verify that the product(s) is (are) installed, either before or after rebate is paid, and, if necessary, to recover rebated amounts on the water bill for any products not installed as required. 
  • Applicants are responsible for complying with all applicable building codes and regulations. 
  • Projects must retrofit existing fixtures; new construction does not qualify for the rebate. 
  • After receipts are submitted, allow six to eight weeks for processing.
