Toilets are typically the main source of water use in the home, accounting for nearly 30% of indoor consumption. Fort Collins Utilities water customers are eligible for a rebate after purchasing a new toilet that exceeds the current state standard. We are partnering with Efficiency Works to provide these rebates.

Receive a $50 rebate when you:

• Replace your old toilet with a WaterSense labeled model that uses 1.1 gallons per flush (GPF) or less AND has a MaP score of 600 grams or more * (For dual flush toilets, average both GPF - use calculator below)
• Recycle the toilet at an approved facility and receive a voucher
• Submit an application along with the voucher

Eligibility:

• Install the toilet at a Fort Collins Utilities residential water service address (service map)
• Purchase the toilet between January 1, 2023 - December 31, 2023
• New toilet must replace an existing toilet; new homes and new construction are not eligible
• Limited to two toilets per address, per year

Residential applications for 2023 purchases must be submitted by Jan. 15, 2024. Please allow up to eight weeks for processing. Funds are limited. Fort Collins Utilities reserves the right to verify purchase and installation location of any toilet for which a rebate is requested.

 *MaP is a measure of toilet performance (verify using MaP’s product search)

Rebate Application

Water efficient toilets are better for the environment and your pocketbook, saving you money on your water and wastewater bill. Saving water improves our community's resilience to drought and other factors.

High efficiency fixtures, such as toilets and faucets, mean less water flows to the sewer. Adopting good disposal practices is key to minimizing blockages and other issues. Only flush the three Ps (pee, poo, and toilet paper) to ensure continued performance in your sewer line and the community's wastewater system. 

What Not to Flush

• Why 1.1 GPF? In 2016, Colorado became a WaterSense state, meaning manufacturers and retailers can only sell water fixtures that are WaterSense certified. This includes toilets, which cannot exceed 1.28 GPF according to the WaterSense certification. To incentivize residents to choose toilets that exceed state requirements, rebate eligibility changed to 1.1 GPF. Learn more about Colorado's Indoor WaterSense Fixture Requirement in Senate Bill 14-103.
• Quick facts:
  • Pre-1994 toilets used 3.5 to 7 GPF
  • WaterSense models use 1.28 GPF or less (to qualify for a rebate, toilets must be 1.1 GPF)
  • Bathrooms that haven't been updated in the past 15 years can potentially save thousands of gallons of water per year when homeowners install high-efficiency toilets
