Water waste system for energy-efficiency

The program is available in Southern California Edison Company (SCE^®), Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E^®), Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas^®), and San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E^®) service areas. SCE, on behalf of itself, PG&E, SoCalGas, and SDG&E, has contracted with Lincus Inc.
