Toilet Rebate Replacement Program

To apply, download the application form at the bottom of this page. All eligibility details are included in the application form.

2012 PROGRAM

We have extended this program into 2012. Changes to the program this year include the allowance for business to take advantage of the rebates and limiting the rebate to the amount spent on the toilet prior to taxes to a maximum rebate of $100.

ARE YOU REPLACING YOUR TOILET?

If you’ve ever thought about going ultra low-flow, now’s the time to take the plunge. Through the Toilet Replacement Rebate Program, we’ll give you up to $100 back when you install an eligible toilet as a replacement for your old 13L per flush (or greater) model.

DOES YOUR TOILET QUALIFY?

Look for a stamp on your toilet to find the number of litres of water it uses per flush. This may be printed on the inside or rear of the tank, on the tank label, on the top of the bowl, or on the flush valve. If there is no volume stamp then likely it is over the 13L (3.5 gal) or greater and it qualifies!

WHY REPLACE YOUR TOILET?

Toilets send more than 30% of the water used inside your home into our sanitary sewer system.

WHY IS THE DISTRICT OFFERING THESE REBATES TO RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES?

By reducing the amount of water people flush down the toilet we can reduce the hydraulic loading and extend the life of the existing Waste Water Treatment Plant. To learn more about our Water Smart goals and programs please visit our website at www.Sparwood.ca/watersmart

HOW DO WE KNOW THEY ACTUALLY WORK?

Veritec and Koeller produce a publicly available report on the Maximum Performance (MaP) of over 1,000 different toilet models. The report states that the lack of information on toilet performance levels created a negative perception regarding all 6L fixtures in general and that the fixtures available in the marketplace today are significantly better performers than those MaP tested as recently as 2003.

A copy of this large document, including the results, is available at the Main Office, the Planning Department and the Transfer Station OR online at on the Alliance for Water Efficiency website.
