In an effort to help customers reduce water use,
Centennial Water & Sanitation District presents the 2010 Low-Flow
Toilet Rebate Program.
In 1992, the U.S. Energy Policy Act was passed and
provided low-flow standards for plumbing fixtures and appliances.
Effective January 1, 1994 all toilets manufactured and sold in the
United States must be 1.6 gallons per flush or less.
Prior to 1994, toilets ranged from 3.5 to 5.5 gallons per flush.
It is estimated that by replacing older and less efficient toilets
with low-flow models can save approximately 10,000 gallons of water per
year.
The goal of the pilot program is to encourage customers
who have not previously replaced their older, less efficient toilets, with
those that use 1.6 gallons per flush or less.
Centennial Water will provide a $50 rebate for up to three toilets per
customer. To qualify, customers
must replace an older toilet that uses 3.5 gallons per flush or more.
Customers in homes built after January 1, 1994 will not be eligible.
