The District offers a $200.00 rebate for high efficiency clothes washing machines that qualify. High efficiency washing machines (front-loading and some top-loading) use significantly less water, less energy, and are less damaging to clothing than older models. Traditional washing machine models use between 27-54 gallons of water per load, but new, energy- and water-conserving models (front-loading or top-loading, non-agitator ones) use only 16-20 gallons per load.
