Apply For A Toilet Rebate
Since the Metro Atlanta toilet rebate program began in 2008, 125,000 old, inefficient toilets have been replaced with low-flow WaterSense-labeled models. This has resulted in a savings of nearly 2.4 million gallons of water a day.
There is a limit of two (2) toilet rebates per property (including previous owners). To qualify for a rebate, you must purchase a WaterSense labeled Ultra High Efficient (UHET) toilet using 1.1 gpf or less. Please visit the WaterSense Product Search for approved toilet models.
This is an important notice about the Single-Family Toilet Rebate Program.
As of July 1, 2021, the rebate structure has changed. Only WaterSense labeled toilets using 1.1 gpf or less will be eligible for the $75 rebate. Toilets using 1.28 gpf are no longer eligible.
