Over 30% of indoor residential water use can occur through the toilet. To help its water customers meet the conservation goal of 40% reduction in water use, the Water Authority offers an extraordinary toilet rebate program aimed at encouraging water customers to change out their old high-flow toilets for the newer low-flow models.

All Water Utility customers will receive credits on their water bills of $100 per toilet. Customers of the rebate program may also replace their shower heads, with an $8 credit applied to their water bill (on a per toilet basis).

All low-flow toilets qualify for the $100 rebate, and can be purchased at any location.

Choice #2 - Conversions to High-Efficiency Toilets (1.28 gallons or less per flush)

For conversions from conventional high flow toilets to high-efficiency toilets:

Residential - $200
Commercial - $200

For conversions from low-flow toilets and for new construction both residential and commercial:

$50 per high efficiency toilet installed.

NEW ! Urinal Rebate

Conversion of urinals to a one pint or waterless urinal will qualify for a $75 rebate. In addition, installation of waterless or one pint urinals in new construction also qualify for the rebate.

How do I participate?

Print out the following Toilet Rebate Program Form (420KB PDF) or Urinal Rebate Program Form (497KB PDF), complete it and mail it. The Toilet Rebate Form is also available in Spanish (338KB PDF). A licensed plumber must certify the application, even if you have installed the toilet yourself.

Eligibility
Participants must meet two requirements:

1. The installation address must have an active retail water system account in good standing with the Water Authority.
2. Participants must be owners or agents of the properties at the addresses where water service is delivered.

How do I get the credit?
Your rebate credit will offset your water bill. If, for example, you qualify for a $100 rebate, and your monthly water bill is only $25, you will have a credit balance for four months. The rebate will be applied to the total bill for water, sewer, and refuse.

Who can install?
Homeowners may install their toilets themselves, or they can hire any plumber or plumbing contractor licensed in the State of New Mexico to do the job. The changeout must be verified by a licensed plumbing contractor.

Who pays the plumber?
Owners are responsible for selecting, scheduling, and paying the plumber. The Water Authority's role begins when the plumber verifies to the Water Authority that the work has been done. Random inspections will be done by appointment to check form accuracy.

How long will it last?
OPERATION LOW FLOW was mandated by the City Council in the spring of 1995. The program is offered on a first come, first served basis and will function as long as allocated funds permit. We hope to receive ongoing appropriations as long as there is sufficient demand.
