$40 High Efficiency Toilet Retrofit Rebate

If Replacing a Toilet Manufactured after 1993

Every drop saved today means more water for tomorrow. Much of your indoor water use – about 30% – goes toward flushing the toilet. Start saving today – switch to a premium high efficiency toilet.

Please confirm you have all of the following

It’s easy for homeowners to save water – and money – with every flush by upgrading to an EPA WaterSense certified toilet in their homes (single-family, condos, etc.).

Since 1994, the plumbing code has allowed for the production of toilets that use 1.6 gallons of water per flush (GPF), but WaterSense certified toilets use 0.8 – 1.28 GPF. If you want to upgrade to a WaterSense certified toilet, this rebate is for you.

How Does it work?

If you have older toilets in your residence, it may be time for an upgrade. WaterSense certified toilets use 0.8 – 1.28 gallons per flush, significantly reducing how much water you use, and are widely available.

What are the benefits?

Toilets account for roughly 30% of a home’s indoor water use, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
