The City of Peterborough is pleased to promote its Low- flow Toilet Replacement Rebate Program in recognition of World Water Day.

 

With toilets accounting for up to 30 % of domestic in-house water, replacing your current toilet with a low -flow toilet is a sustainable approach to saving both water and money.

 

The City of Peterborough offers a $50.00 per toilet rebate on the purchase and installation of “WaterSense certified” low – flow toilets as part of an effort to conserve water.  Over 900 residential toilets were replaced through the rebate program in 2012.

 

The Low -flow Toilet Replacement Rebate Program is funded to a maximum of $40,000 for 2013. These rebates will be available on a first come, first served basis or until the funding has been exhausted.

 

To qualify for a rebate, you must be replacing a residential toilet. The rebate program is open to all residential units, including apartments, condominiums, townhouses, social housing, and single family houses.  The rebate, however, does not apply to toilets being installed as part of additions or new construction. Industrial, commercial and other non-residential properties are not eligible at this time.

 

The Low – flow Toilet Replacement Rebate Program application forms are available on the City’s website or may be picked up at the Recreation Division at City Hall.
