Do you still have an older, high water use toilet at home? Replace it with a water-efficient model and you will receive a $100 credit per toilet on your water utility bill!
Why Participate?
In Coquitlam, the average person uses about 250 litres of drinking water per day, which is roughly two full bathtubs of water. Toilet flushing accounts for nearly 25% of household water use. Water efficient toilets align with the BC building code by only using up to 6 litres per flush. By switching to a high-efficiency toilet that uses 6 litres or less per flush, you’ll be helping to reduce water consumption, ease the City’s water and sewer systems, and conserve water for our essential public services.
To qualify, applicants must:
- Property owners of a residential property within Coquitlam.
- Replace an existing 13 litre (3.5 gallon) toilet with a single-flush with:
- A single-flush model that uses up to 4.8 litres.
- A dual-flush toilet with a maximum of 6 litres for the high-volume flush and 4.1 litres or less for the low-volume flush.
- The new toilet must be certified to Canadian standards (CSA, UPC, or Warnock Hersey) and meet BC Building Code regulations.
How to Apply
- Take photos of the following:
- Your old toilet still installed.
- The old toilet removed, with the tank visibly cracked.
- The new toilet installed.
- A copy of your purchase receipt for the new toilet.
- Complete the Toilet Rebate Application Form and submit your application within 90 days of purchase.
- Dispose of your old toilet properly. Toilets are considered garbage and should be taken to the United Boulevard Recycling and Waste Centre (955 United Blvd).
- The City’s Water Conservation team will review your submission and contact you by email. If approved, you’ll be notified when your $100 utility tax credit will be applied.
