City Discontinues Low-Flow Toilet Rebate, but Vouchers Still Available

30th June, 2010 - Posted by katherine - 1 Comment

According to the Statesman, today is the last day Austin residents can buy a low-flow toilet at a retailer and apply for a rebate check from the City of Austin. The rebate program, which included installation and allowed residents to pick out low-flow toilets from any retail store, cost the Austin Water Utility up to $200 per toilet.  However, you can still get a free low-flow toilet from a city-contracted vendor if you are willing to pick up the toilet and install it yourself or hire someone to install it.  This method only costs the utility $71 per toilet and  is still a pretty good deal if you’re willing to put in a little effort.  And according to the utility, low-flow toilets use about 63% less water than older toilets, which can add up to great savings on your water bill.

low-flow toilets can be just as fun as conventional toilets, but can save 63% more water!
