Exhibit A
04 HOT WATER RECIRCULATION PUMP
�s WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAM
HMO BEP Your Water Conservation Representative: Madeline Kacsinta - [email protected] This program is subject to change without notice and is subject to the availability of funding.

Program Goal:

The Intent of the Hot Water Recirculation Pump Rebate Program is to encourage customers to save water by reducing the amount of water lost down the drain while waiting for hot water— to save water.

Background:

A hot water recirculation system works using a pump that starts recirculating cooled water that's been sitting in the hot water line and sends it back to the water heater through the cold -water line. When the water reaches a desired temperature, a control turns off the pump. This process is similar to turning on the hot water faucet and letting the water run until it gets hot, but instead of the water going down the drain, it is simply returned back to the water heater —saving water and possibly saving energy depending on how long water is left on. It is estimated that the average household could save up to 12,000 gallons of water per year by installing a hot water recirculation pump.

Rebate Amount for a Hot Water Recirculation Pump
If all of the terms and conditions are satisfied, receive a $100 reimbursement for the purchase and installation of a hot water recirculation pump. The rebate will be mailed to the customer after all requirements have been met.

How to APPLY:

1. Read all terms and conditions of the program

2. Purchase Hot Water Recirculation pump (Hang on to your receipt!)

3. Install Hot Water Recirculation Pump

4. Fill out application: See first page of this document for application

Mail: Attn Madeline Kacsinta, 760 Mattie Road, Pismo Beach CA 93449 E-mail: [email protected] Phone: (806)773-7060

6. Post -retrofit Inspection: After retrofit is 100% completed, call to schedule a post -retrofit inspection with a City Representative to confirm retrofit has been made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rebate.

7. City Will Mail Rebate Check: Once your post -retrofit inspection has passed, the City Representative will contact the City's Finance Department to mail a check to the address on the application. Please allow 30 days from post - installation inspection to receive the rebate.
