Subject Toilet Rebate Revision # / Date No. 0 / 11-11-2021
1. Purpose
a. To conserve water by offering an incentive for residential and multi-family owners to replace
older, low-efficiency toilets with newer, high-efficiency models. New models also reduce the risk
of expensive bills due to malfunctioning, constantly-running toilets.
2. Eligibility
a. Residential and multi-family properties that replace less-efficient existing toilets with high-
efficiency toilets “HET”. High efficiency toilets are those with 1.28 gallons per flush or less. New
construction properties or properties that wish to replace an existing, properly-functioning HET
will not be eligible. We intend to use the EPA WaterSense website and point residents to that
website to determine eligible toilets. lookforwatersense.epa.gov
b. The rebate will be $100/toilet. There will be a limit for each eligible property per year as follows:
Meter Size Max Rebate/year Total Allowable Credit/year
5/8” 2 $200
1” 2 $200
1-1/2” 4 $400
2” 4 $400
3” 6 $600
Above 3” 6 $600
c. Program maximum per calendar year will be $10,000, funded by the Sewer Utility starting in
2022. Eligibility will be on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by the date City staff
receives a completed rebate application. If an application is determined to be incomplete by
staff, the required additional information will be requested by staff to the applicant. Once the
complete application is received, eligibility will be cataloged. If funds are expended for the year,
no further rebates will be granted for that calendar year.
d. Toilets shall be purchased within the same year as the rebate application requested.
Page 1 / 2
PW-002
3. Claims Process and Reimbursement
a. The Toilet Rebate form must be completed and submitted to the utility as stated on the form,
along with a copy of the receipt listing toilet model number.
b. Utility personnel will verify the replacement qualifies as a HET with 1.28 gpf or less using the
EPA WaterSense website.
c. If qualifying, and if the maximum has not been reached, either per property or annual limits for
the program, a responding credit will be placed on the sewer utility account of the service
address as per Section 2 line b.
