City program encourages water saving toilets

The City of Camrose Toilet Rebate Program is part of the City’s initiative to be a greener community and encourages residents to become water conservation smart.

As one of the largest water users in households, toilets can contribute to 30 per cent of total indoor consumption of in residential properties.

Changing over older toilets to the newer ones will not only help to conserve water but reduce your utilities bills as well. Toilets manufactured after 1992 need less than half as much water per use as many older units.

Homes, businesses, or institutions with older toilets that use 10 litres or more per flush, qualify for the City rebate program, by replacing the older toilets with newer ones that use six litres or less per flush and have a Maximum Performance (MaP) score of 800 or more (MaP score is a measure of how much mass a toilet can flush in one go).

If you are considering the replacing your toilet and taking advantage of the rebate program ensure the toilet you wish to purchase does meet the requirements.

The rebate will be $70 for one toilet. If you are replacing more toilets, you can also receive a 25 per cent rebate for the cost of each extra toilet (up to a maximum of $50 per extra toilet).

The Toilet Rebate program is offered to any City of Camrose water account holder, including residential, business and institutions.

In order to qualify for the program the following conditions apply: • Old toilet(s) must be greater than 10 litres per flush. • Applicant must provide the original sales receipt (will be returned with the rebate) dated after September 30, 2020 for the new toilet(s) • The new toilet(s) must use(s) 6 litres or less per flush and have a Maximum Performance (MaP) score of 800 or greater (please note that dual-flush toilets have to meet these standards on both flush modes). • Applicant must provide a photograph(s) of the old toilet(s) installed in the washroom(s) before replacement. • Applicant must provide a photograph(s) of the new toilet(s) in the washroom(s) after installment. • Applicant must provide evidence that the old toilet(s) have been made nonfunctional.

Applications for the 2022 Toilet Rebate Program ended on September 29, 2022 with rebates given out to those who have applied in time, and had proof of installation of the new toilet(s) and decommissioning of the old toilet(s) before the end of October 2022.

If home renovations or fall maintenance is on your to do list, take a look at your toilet. If it is an older model, consider the somewhat low cost of replacing it with one that may function better, saves you money in the long run and most importantly conserves our most valuable commodity, water.
