Residents in the Water Authority’s service area can apply for rebates on high-efficiency clothes washers, high-efficiency toilets, weather-based irrigation controllers, and rotary nozzles with pressure-regulating heads through the SoCal Water$mart program. No advance rebate reservation is required. Rebate applications for purchases made on or after September 21, 2009 will be available online at http://socalwatersmart.com/.

The Save A Buck program is available to water agency customers who own or manage commercial, industrial and institutional facilities or multi-family properties. Save A Buck rebates include high-efficiency toilets, weather-based irrigation controllers, rotary nozzles with pressure-regulating heads, water brooms, cooling tower conductivity controllers and ph/conductivity controllers (HVAC), steam sterilizers and dry vacuum pumps (medical), and high-efficiency clothes washers (multi-family). Some devices or products from previous Save A Buck programs are no longer eligible for a rebate.

Sabre Springs Crime Meeting Report
I think we had a very productive meeting regarding the recent crime issues. At the meeting were officer Phet Guiney, Susan Steffen, and John Ly the representative for Councilmember Carl Demaio.
There were some excellent questions asked by our community members. The main topic of conversation was the recent car burglaries. According to officer Steffen the crime stats have not increased from this year to last. It just feels like the crime has increased. The truth, according to officer Steffen, is the gangs usually hit one area at a time and then move on to the next.
A very good point was brought up about reporting crimes. I know that a lot of us don't report the issues because we think that nothing will be done. Officer Steffen mentioned that it is very important to report all crimes. Officers are assigned to areas with higher crime reports. Sabre Springs has such low crime that only 1 officer is assigned to our area as well as Scripps Ranch. That is good and bad news. Good news that we are a very low crime area but bad news that we only have one officer patroling our community.
If there is an incident the officers mentioned to call the non emergency number 858-484-3154 and ask for the "telephone report unit". Always file a report. Officer Guiney said that the only time to call 911 is if there is a fire, crime in progress or medical attention is needed.
You may have noticed more police officers in our neighborhood giving out speeding tickets and wondering why they aren't working on crime issues. Officer Steffen said that they are traffic officers and don't work on burglaries.
The officers did mention that there is a spike in crime during the summer months. They didn't know why exactly. One possible reason was summer break. They did say that the break-ins were usually caused from gangs that live outside of our area.
Here are some possible solutions (nothing magical)
1. Remove ALL items from your car.
a. bags
b. garage remotes
c. purses as well as gym bags.
d. computers
e. EVERYTHING!
2. Put cars in garage -
Great time to clean out your garage and get rid of all that junk. This seems like a simple solution that also appears to be the best.
3. Exterior lighting (motion detector lighting)
4. Put a Pit Bull in your car (just kidding)
The last thing that we talked about was setting up Neighborhood watch programs. If anyone is interested in starting a neighborhood watch in your area please email me at craig@craiglevitt.com
Coyote issue
This is part of an email that I received from one of our neighbors"
"I wanted to warn our neighbors to keep their cats and small pets indoors at night. Last evening, my husband, daughter and I returned home around 9:30 pm and saw a mid-sized coyote standing in our front yard. We're on the corner of Granite Creek Road and Pocano Way and the corner is well lit. We even had our front house lights on but the lights didn't seem to scare the coyote."
