Broward County’s Natural Resources Division has announced enhancements to the ConservationPay$ toilet rebate program in partnership with the Broward Water Partnership (BWP) Partners.
The qualifying conditions and rebate amount were updated on July 1, 2023, giving additional advantages to the community.
The rebate amount has been increased from $100 to $125. This allows individuals and organizations to maximize their water savings efforts.
In light of the program enhancement, Broward Water Partnership invites residents and businesses to take part in the “Summer of Savings” which started on July 1, 2023.
Eligible candidates will be included in a drawing for a $250 Gift Card through September 20, 2023. The prize can be used to cover the installation of a new toilet or other home repair projects.
The enhancements aim to improve program participation, adapt to inflation, and provide more financial assistance to residents and businesses looking for water-saving alternatives.
Vanessa Balta, Water Conservation Manager of the county’s Natural Resources Division, said that promoting sustainable practices and protecting water resources are at the heart of the Broward Water Partnership’s resilience efforts.
“We are thrilled to announce the updates to our ConservationPay$ toilet rebate program, which not only increases the rebate amount but also expands the eligibility criteria,” she added.
Balta further said that by offering a $125 rebate and accommodating a wider range of toilet options, residents and businesses are empowered to make a significant contribution to water conservation while easing the financial burden.
The eligibility criteria will also expand to allow the replacement of 1.6 gallons per flush (GPF) toilets and upgrades to highly efficient 1.28 GPF toilets.
Over time, the performance and efficiency of toilets decline, highlighting the significance of replacing older units with High-Efficiency Toilet (HET) alternatives.
