WaterSense Toilet Installation

Homeowners may install the toilets themselves, or they may hire a plumber or contractor. Homeowners are responsible for proper installation, associated costs and prior to installing the toilet will be required to have a City plumbing permit. Permit fees will be waived. Installation may be subject to verification by City building inspection personnel. Qualifying WaterSense Toilets may be purchased from any supplier.

WaterSense Toilet Rebates

Rebate checks of up to $100 for the toilet, not exceeding purchase price, will be sent to the customer’s address. Rebates do not include taxes or installation.

Old Toilet Disposal

Replaced toilets should be disposed of so that they cannot be re-used. This can be done by contacting Pellitteri Waste Systems and scheduling a curbside pick-up of the old toilet. Fees apply.
