Toilet Retrofit Rebate Program

DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management
Toilet Retrofit Rebate Program
Application Guidelines

Beginning January 8, 2008, the Department of Watershed Management offers a Toilet Retrofit Rebate Program to DeKalb County water customers whose homes were built prior to 1993. This program will assist customers in replacing their old toilets with efficient water-conserving toilets to conserve water and money. The toilet retrofit rebate program will only honor purchases starting on January 1, 2008; no purchases prior will qualify for rebate. Toilets being replaced must have been installed prior to 1993.
Toilet Rebate: There are two rebate options. The first is a $50.00 rebate for the purchase of any approved 1.6 gallons per flush toilet on the list of eligible toilets (click here for list). The second option is $100.00 rebate for the purchase of any approved 1.28 gallons per flush toilet on the list of eligible toilets (click here for list).
Only the exact model names and number combinations on DeKalb County’s list of eligible toilets will qualify for the toilet rebate. These toilets have been tested in specific combinations for performance and water savings – tank and bowl number cannot be "mixed and matched" from different models. Other models may be available for purchase, but WILL NOT qualify for a rebate. Customers will only be allowed to apply for a maximum of three (3) toilets per household.
Program Requirements:
• Toilets must be installed in a property located in DeKalb County.
• Toilets must be installed in a property that is an individually metered residential dwelling as defined by Section 27-31 (click here for Section 27-31) of the DeKalb County Code (a DeKalb County Water and Sewer account verifies that a home is individually metered).
• There is a limit of replacing three (3) toilets per household. To receive the $50.00 or $100.00 rebate, each new toilet must be replacing an existing old, large capacity toilet installed prior to 1993. The $50.00 rebate option applies to 1.6 gallons per flush toilets, and the $100.00 rebate option applies to 1.28 gallons per flush toilets.
• Old toilets cannot be reused. Participants agree to dispose of their old toilets.
