The High Efficiency Clothes Washer Rebate is an energy and water conservation incentive program that offers Riverside Public Utilities' (RPU) residential customers a chance to replace their existing high energy and water use clothes washer with high efficiency clothes washers (HECW).

• This program is available to RPU residential electric and water customers. If applicant is a tenant or renter, the property owner must sign the application.
• HECWs must be Energy Star® Rated and have a water factor of 6 or less per load (NOTE: As of July 1, 2008 only Energy Star rated washers with a water factor of 5.0 or less will qualify for this rebate). The installation of the HECW must be replacing units using a higher volume of energy and water per load.
• Qualified units must be installed and in operation at the customer's service address before applying for a rebate.
• Once the HECW is installed, mail your application along with your ORIGINAL dated sales receipt as proof of purchase to Riverside Public Utilities. Make sure to copy the receipt for your records.
• HECW's are subject to inspection for program compliance. Customer's failure to permit such inspections shall obligate the customer to repay the amount of the incentive received by the customer for that installation. The incentive amount shall be billed on the customer's regular utility billing cycle from the City and shall be a part of the customer's utility service charge payable to the City.
• Customer must sign liability agreement on the application.
• All General Program Guidelines apply.
