WaterSense Labeled Toilet Rebates

Get a $100 Rebate on a WaterSense Labeled Toilet

Toilets generally account for 30% of the water used inside your home. A new toilet will create instant, significant and permanent water savings. As of July 1, 2012, the City will only offer the rebate on WaterSense labeled toilets. A WaterSense toilet has been verified by a third party to be at least 20% more efficient than standard fixtures, while maintaining the same performance. Local retailers carry these low flow toilets in a number of styles and price points. They can even be found for less than $100.
