The City’s toilet rebate program launched in 2008. Since that time Pullman property owners have replaced over 2000 toilets resulting in an estimated annual water savings of 8.4 million gallons of water per year. In 2015 the City’s toilet rebate program was expanded to include five different types of toilet rebates including a rebate for new construction.
In an effort to encourage water conservation, the City of Pullman offers rebates to water customers that replace old, higher flow toilets, in favor of new low flow versions. Rebates of up to $125 are available!
Typically, toilets made before 1994 use 5 to 7 gallons per flush. Today there are many low flow options such as an Ultra Low Flush Toilet (1.6 gallons per flush) or a High Efficiency Toilet (1.28 gallons per flush, or less). Switching over one toilet can save as much as 10,000 gallons per year, and through our Toilet Rebate Program it is economically advantageous to switch. To qualify for the rebate, an applicant must be the owner of a residential or commercial property served by the City of Pullman Water System and be replacing your existing pre-code toilet with either a new Ultra Low Flush or a High Efficiency toilet. In order to receive the rebate, applicants must first complete a
Water Conservation Rebate Application. Once the application is processed one of our Operations Technicians will perform an onsite inspection of your existing toilet in order for your application to be approved. Once the new lower flow toilet is installed, a second inspection will take place, followed by your rebate being processed and issued through our Finance Department.
The
Water Conservation Rebate Application is available online, or can be obtained from the Public Works or Finance Departments in City Hall at 190 SE Crestview St, Bldg A, Pullman, WA 99163 For additional information please call (509) 338-3243.
