Olivenhain Municipal Water District (OMWD) Agricultural Water Program

This program was established by OMWD more than 35 years ago to support and promote the agricultural producers in OMWD’s service area. Because the agricultural water rate is available only to those who meet minimum program criteria, OMWD is reviewing and updating the current status of all agricultural customers.

Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's Interim Agricultural Water Program

The IAWP will end in five years, and no new customers are allowed to enter the program.
Participants have received their allotments for 2009, and the same terms as last year still apply, although there are higher penalties for using water above the allotment.

OMWD would like to thank all the Interim Agricultural Water Program participants who have answered the call for conservation. OMWD recognizes the difficulties associated with making the required cutbacks, and we would like to thank all IAWP participants for being the first to "step up" and commit to conservation. As we move closer to the dry season, effective conservation measures will become imperative for program participants in order to remain under their designated water allotments. IAWP participants may be eligible for conservation device rebates, including high-efficiency clothes washers, weather-based irrigation controllers, artificial turf and an agriculture water use audit. All of these may help in your conservation efforts.
