About:
Southern California enjoys a Mediterranean like climate and is largely dependent on imported water supplies. Although the District has utilized cheaper local water supplies; growing populations, environmental concerns, and other factors throughout the state make the region susceptible to water supply reliability issues. Careful management includes active conservation while in drought and at all times to sustain the way of life our communities enjoy.

A WaterSmart Checkup is your opportunity to receive site-specific water saving recommendations. You will benefit from the professional perspective of certified irrigation specialists. And you decide if and when to put the suggestions to work.
Santa Fe Irrigation District offers rebates and incentives to its customers! The district partners with The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and the County of San Diego to assist in program management.
Drought in other parts of the state can affect everyone. Consecutive seasons with limited rain and snowmelt force regional wholesale suppliers to draw down key reservoirs serving San Diego County.
In line with the Metropolitan Water District’s and San Diego County Water Authority’s drought responses, the District’s measures are reinforced through local and regional conservation outreach and education programs. Customers can increase their water savings by taking full advantage of rebates, and resources available through the District, the Water Authority, and the Metropolitan Water District. How we use water indoors is just as important as how we use it outdoors. Water is a limited resource and we must continue to use it wisely.
The biggest water savings to be made in our daily lives can be found outdoors. Santa Fe Irrigation District is committed to helping our customers create and enjoy climate-friendly landscapes – landscapes that are efficient when it comes to water, and resources. Landscapes that are visually appealing and enhance your quality of life. Landscapes that accentuate and enrich our community.
