Toilet and Water-free Urinal Rebate Program
The Marina Coast Water District initiated a rebate program in
1994 to encourage replacing older toilets with more efficient
models. The toilet rebate program has replaced over 3,000 toilets,
saving each year 13.5 million gallons of water. The response
to the rebate program has been great and we continue to encourage
the retrofitting of new high-efficiency toilets (1.28 gallon
per flush or less) to save you water and reduce your water bill.
The
District provides a rebate amount equal to the purchase price
of the toilet, up to $125 for retrofitting from 1.6-gallon or
more per flush toilets to high-efficiency toilets (single and
dual-flush) having a flush capacity of 1.28 gallons or less. The
1.6-gallon per flush toilet does not qualify for a rebate. A rebate for converting
from conventional urinals to water-free urinals is also available. The District
will provide you a rebate equal to the purchase price of the water-free urinal,
up to $125.
Any home or commercial property is required by law to be retrofitted
to 1.6-gallon per flush or less, but can qualify if it is retrofitted
with a high-efficiency toilet.
The increasing number of high-efficiency
toilet models available provides choices. Current independent
test data is now available for the consumer via the web. We recommend
you review the ratings before you buy. The California
Urban Water Conservation Council’s (CUWCC) web site has information
on toilets and the most current results from the Uniform North American Requirements
UNAR), Maximum Performance Testing (MaP), see cuwcc.org/MaPTesting.aspx.
Don’t
pay more for a toilet that uses more water and doesn’t
empty the bowl. Current test data, see cuwcc.org/MaPTesting.aspx,
allows the consumer to avoid the poor performers.
To receive a
high-efficiency toilet rebate, save your original purchase receipt.
Then pick up a rebate from our offices or download
the form from our website. Fill out the form, attach the
original receipt, and mail or bring the form and the original
receipt to our main office, 11 Reservation Road. Visit the Contact
Us page
for driving directions.
The District will only accept receipts less than one year old. The rebate
program is only for our customers.
