WaterSense Labeled Toilet Rebates
Get a $150 Rebate on a WaterSense Labeled Toilet
Toilets generally account for 30% of the water used inside your home. A new toilet will create instant, significant and permanent water savings.
In October 2024, the City of Charlottesville expanded its Toilet Rebate Program. City of Charlottesville residents are now eligible for an up to $150 rebate for replacing toilets that use 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf) or higher with a WaterSense labeled toilet, maximum of 3 toilets. Toilets purchased and/or installed after October 1, 2024 are eligible for this expanded rebate.
A WaterSense toilet has been verified by a third party to be at least 20% more efficient than standard fixtures, while maintaining the same performance. Local retailers carry these low flow toilets in a number of styles and price points. They can even be found for less than $150.
