HET Program
The Metropolitan Water District (MWD) funds the High Efficiency Toilet (HET) distribution program in an effort to replace older high-water using toilets with more efficient low-water using toilets. MWD normally offers a credit to the participating water agency for the amount of HET's installed. The participating water agency may offer these toilets free of charge to their customers or ask for a nominal fee (co-pay). The participating water agency may require additional funds for this program and can be obtained in one of two ways; either the participating agency requests funds directly from MWD or requests funds from their local water agency (usually as local retail agency of MWD).
