The City of Coquitlam is offering a rebate of $100 for each toilet replaced with a new ultra low flow model up to a maximum of two toilets per residential dwelling.
Funding for this program is limited due to budget constraints so don't delay. Applications will be processed on a first come, first serve basis.
Why trade your old toilet in?
About 14% of the City’s total water use is used annually for flushing residential toilets. Many of the City's residences are still equipped with toilets that require 13 - 20 litres of water per flush while new ultra low flow toilets only require 4.1 to 4.6 litre toilets based on single or dual flush models. Using less water per flush will conserve our valuable resource and save money in the long run.
Rebate Eligibility
Toilets must have been purchased and installed after July 29, 2004. The rebate is not retroactive. The rebate is only available to Flat Rate (residential) customers of the City's Water Utility. Metered customers are not eligible as sewer and water rates paid are consumption based.
Old toilets that require more than 13 litres qualify for the rebate program.
Important! - Effective October 3, 2011 ultra low flow toilets must be certified as CUPC, CUL, CSA, or Warnock Hersey as 4.8 litres per flush (single flush) or 4.1/6 litres per flush (dual flush) to be eligible for a rebate.
If required, homeowners must permit a City representative access to their property to ensure compliance with the program.
Supporting Documents Required
- A Toilet Replacement Rebate Application Form, completed in full by the registered owner of the property.
