Free Water Saving Equipment
Casitas Municipal Water District offers free water conservation devices to all residents living in the district’s wholesale service area, which includes most of the Ventura River watershed. Their service area includes the Ojai Valley, Upper Ojai, Meiners Oaks, Mira Monte, Casitas Springs, and Ventura’s Westside, as well as the Rincon area and the city of Ventura to about Mills Road. (Service area map.)
The free devices available include low-flow (massage) showerhead, kitchen and bathroom faucet aerators (which slow the volume of water but keep the force), toilet flappers (which need to be replaced from time to time because they leak with age), and dye tablets (a quick way to test your toilet for leaks). 
To get your free water saving equipment, just go to the district’s office at 1055 Ventura Avenue in Oak View between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm. (Limit 2 per household.) You’ll be asked to sign a register that includes your address. Casitas Municipal Water District's website.
Casitas’s showerheads and aerators can also be picked up at the Ojai Green Coalition’s Resource Center at 206 N. Signal St. Suite S, which is open Wednesday thru Friday from 12:00 to 5:00 pm.
