WaterSense® Toilet Rebate

Chalkboard with words "Save Water"
About the Program

Toilets use more water than any other indoor fixture. Because toilets manufactured before 1994 use more gallons of water per flush, replacing them is an easy way to conserve water.  Beatrice Board of Public Works is offering a WaterSense® toilet rebate program to qualified water customers.

Incentive:

50% of the toilet purchase price up to $75, after the purchase and installation of a WaterSense® labeled High Efficiency toilet. Rebate will not exceed the purchase price. Residential customers may receive up to 2 rebates per service address.

Qualifications: 
  • Must be a WaterSense® high-efficiency toilet.
  • Toilet purchase must include both bowl and tank and be installed at the service address listed on the application.
How does the program work?
  1. Applications must be received within 90 calendar days of the purchase and installation date.
  2. The customer must submit copies of the contractor’s itemized invoice and/or itemized purchase receipts, and the model and serial number must be submitted along with a completed rebate application form. The completed application form will then be submitted to the Utility Billing Department for processing. 
  3. The City is not responsible for the rebated material’s performance or energy savings and does not provide any warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied.
  4. The program is subject to the Terms and Conditions as outlined here, on the application, and under the General Guidelines.

What is a low flow toilet?

High-efficiency toilets are the latest generation of toilets.  WaterSense® certified toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush which is 20% less than the current federal standard of 1.6 gallons and significantly less than older model toilets which can use up to 6 gallons per flush.  WaterSense® labeled products are backed by independent, third-party certification and meet EPA’s specifications for water efficiency and performance.

Why should I replace my toilet?

Replacing 3.5 gallon toilets with WaterSense® labeled toilets can save a household 12,000 gallons of water each year.  An average family of four uses 881 gallons of water per week just by flushing the toilet.  Saving water not only saves homeowners money, it decreases demands on the City’s groundwater source.
