Install water-efficient fixtures and appliances

Owners of buildings served by utilities in the Saving Water Partnership can lower their water, sewer, and energy bills by installing efficient fixtures and appliances. Newer, efficient toilets can reduce your water use by 30 to 40 percent, and sometimes more.

• Have a member of our team conduct an assessment of the water fixtures on your property.

Replace old toilets

Older toilets can use 3.5 gallons per flush or more and some early low-flow toilets can require two flushes to clear the bowl. Rebates are available to replace toilets installed before 2004 with the most efficient models.
