Old, water-guzzling toilets can use 3.5 to five gallons per flush, accounting for up to 30 percent of all indoor water use in many households. Recent advancements now allow newly manufactured toilets to use slightly more than one gallon per flush and still provide great flushing performance.
The U.S. EPA has developed a certification program called WaterSense that identifies the most efficient and best performing toilets. An independent laboratory tests all models and awards the WaterSense label to only those toilets meeting strict standards.
Cascade offers a $100 rebate to any customer who purchases a WaterSense certified toilet. Households can receive up to three rebates ($300); businesses and apartments are not limited on the number of rebates, but the program is dependent on available funding. In addition to the rebates, Cascade offers free recycling of the old toilets. Participating customers can drop off their old toilets at designated recycling facilities at no charge. The old toilets are crushed and used in construction material.
If you’re in the market for a new toilet, don’t miss this great opportunity. Visit cascadewater.org to learn more.
