HIGH-EFFICIENCY TOILET
REBATE PROGRAM

To help you save water and money every year, and to maximize water supplies, the Contra Costa Water District is offering a rebate of up to $175 for the replacement of existing toilets rated at 3.5 gallons per flush or greater with a new High-Efficiency Toilet from our approved list.

 

What are High-Efficiency Toilets?
High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs) use at least 20 percent less water than standard 1.6 gallon per flush (gpf) Ultra Low Flow Toilets.

In other words, HETs use 1.28 gpf or less on average.

There are three basic types of HETs:

  • Gravity Flush Toilets – use the weight of the water to create a siphon action that pulls water and waste from the bowl.
  • Pressure-Assist Toilets – have a sealed vessel inside the tank and use air pressure to force a flush.
  • Dual Flush Toilets – allow you to select the amount of water that is used to flush the toilet, either a half flush for liquids or a full flush for solids.

Additional information about the performance and technology of these toilets is available at your local plumbing retailer.

Rebate Eligibility

  • Only those High-Efficiency Toilets approved by CCWD qualify for the rebate. The model number(s) of the toilet purchased must be on the CCWD List of Qualifying Toilets on the day of purchase. We have a list of local retailers who can provide these toilets.
  • The rebated HET toilet must replace a toilet older than 1992 and that uses 3.5 or more gallons per flush.
  • Rebate applications must be submitted within 60 days of purchase date.
  • All participants are subject to an installation inspection of the new toilets prior to receiving a rebate.
  • Approved toilet(s) must be installed within the Contra Costa Water District Service Area: Antioch, Bay Point, Clayton, Clyde, Concord, Martinez, Oakley, Pacheco, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill (parts), Port Costa, and Walnut Creek (parts). Check to see if you live in the service area.

See the Program Guidelines and Application for the complete terms and conditions of participation.

How to Apply:

After installation, send in your completed and signed application with the original dated receipt for the new toilet tank and bowl.
