FROM: KTLA TV

LOS ANGELES -- With Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaiming a statewide drought, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors today approved a $300,000 program offering rebates for customers in county waterworks districts using water-saving products.

Customers will be eligible for rebates of up to $150 for the use of devices including weather-based sprinkler controllers, high-efficiency clothes washers, low-flush toilets, or for installing synthetic turf on their lawns, county officials said.

"Waterworks customers can save money, save water and help save the environment with these cutting-edge products," said county Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, whose district includes Waterworks District No. 29, which serves Malibu and the unincorporated Topanga Canyon area.Supervisor Mike Antonovich, whose district includes Waterworks District No. 40, serving Lancaster, also supported the measure.

"Taking some simple measures can make a tremendous difference in helping reach the county's conservation goals," Antonovich said.
