Businesses can significantly reduce their water bills by replacing old toilets (installed before 1994) with models that use fewer gallons per flush. Water providers in the Saving Water Partnership offer incentives to help businesses make the switch.

Tank Toilets
Through December 31, 2010, businesses that replace all tank toilets can get free toilets or an $100 rebate per WaterSense labeled toilet. WaterSense is a new EPA water efficiency branding program that identifies products with high efficiency performance and reliability. The free replacement toilet is the WaterSense labeled Ferguson ProFLO, a 1.28 gallon per flush fixture.

Flush Valve Toilets and Urinals
Rebates of $100 to $150 per fixture are available for replacing older flush valve toilets and urinals with newer water-efficient models.

• Replacing 3.5 fixtures with 1.6 GPF fixtures qualifies for $100 per fixture.
• Replacing 3.5 fixtures with 1.28 GPF High Efficiency Fixtures (HET) qualifies for $125 per fixture.

• Verify that your water provider belongs to the Saving Water Partnership.
• If you need more information or technical assistance, contact WSTP manager Philip Paschke, (206) 684-5883.
• Complete and send the Commercial Toilet Rebate Application (pdf). If you are replacing all tank toilets, indicate whether you want free toilets or rebates.
• Schedule a site visit, if necessary.
• After you receive pre-approval, move ahead with your project. If replacing tank toilets, receive delivery of free toilets or buy and install eligible WaterSense labeled models. See the EPA's Watersense website.
• Complete project and submit project completion info (including project inspection, if required).
• Receive final approval and financial incentive.
