Toilet Replacement Rebate Program

1 March 2010 – The Toilet Replacement Rebate Program for 2010 is underway! Rebates are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Click on the Rebate Application Form below to get started!

Your big, old toilet is costing you a fortune! A toilet can waste thousands of litres of water every year, figuratively flushing your money down the drain. New six-litre toilets with proven technology can give the same results with less water, saving up to two-thirds water with every flush, and saving you up to $100 per year in water and sewer charges.

The Toilet Replacement Program gives Olds citizens an opportunity to receive a toilet replacement Rebate for replacing old toilets with new water saving toilets. Applicants may be eligible for a toilet replacement Rebate by installing water saving six-litre or three-litre / six-litre dual flush toilets. Rebates range from $50 - $100 per toilet. Maximum of five toilet replacement Rebates per Utility account.

Toilet replacement Rebates are processed on a first-come, first-processed basis. Incomplete applications will be returned. Retroactive applications may also be considered from January 1, 2007 onward.
