The first step to conserving water and saving money on water and wastewater bills is making sure you have efficient plumbing fixtures. Replacing older, high water use toilets with high-efficiency models is one of the best ways to save water.
High-Efficiency Toilets
High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs) are defined as fixtures that flush at 20 percent below the 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf) U.S. maximum or less, equating to a maximum of 1.28 gpf. The HET category includes dual-flush toilets which have two separate flush volume options. By the year 2014, high-efficiency toilets will be the standard. We offer rebates for only 1.28 gpf and lower models on our approved list and no longer rebates 1.6 gpf toilets.
Eligibility - FILLABLE REBATE PACKAGE BELOW
San Francisco commercial businesses are eligible for cash rebates of up to $125 per tank style toilet and up to $300 per flushometer valve toilet when they replace their high-flow toilets (3.5 gpf or more) with High-Efficiency Toilet (HET) models that are 1.28 gpf or less. We no longer provide rebates for 1.6 gpf toilets.

Funding is limited and rebates are available on a first come, first served basis. Toilets must be installed and rebate applications must be postmarked within 60 days of the purchase date.
