Stop Flushing Money Down the Toilet
June 5, 2008 · Print This Article
Do something good for yourself. With the economy slowing and gas prices increasing it is time to look at your current situation and identify ways that you can save money by cutting your current expenses. One way to do this is by switching out your old toilets with new water conserving toilets.
Following Dekalb County’s Plumbing Retrofit Law, the City of Roswell in partnership with the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District, is now participating in the Toilet Rebate Program. The program 
allows Roswell residential water consumers the opportunity to apply for a rebate on the purchase of new water-saving toilets to replace older inefficient toilets.
Roswell residential water consumers are eligible to receive a toilet rebate if the following is met:
- Have an individual residential account with a participating water utility in the District and be up to date on your billing payments.
- Own or rent a single-family residential home built in 1993 or earlier (this will be verified).
- Purchase an approved toilet after September 28, 2007 to replace an older toilet using greater than 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf)
- Agree to an installation verification visit to ensure your efficient toilets have been installed.
- Agree to complete a program participation survey.
Who is NOT eligible:
- Customers who have already received a rebate from a District water utility.
- Customers of utilities who are not participating in the program.
- Customers who own or rent a single-family home built after 1993.
- Customers who purchased a toilet before September 28, 2007.
- Customers who currently have a 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf) or less toilet.
- Customers living in a multi-family residence or non-residential customers.
There are two rebate options, and a limit of two toilet rebates per household. Toilets that fit into option 1 are eligible for a $50.00 rebate and toilets listed in option 2 qualify for a $100.00 rebate.
