HET (High Efficiency Toilet) Reimbursement Program
|
Some toilets use a lot of water—3½, 5, or even 7 gallons with every flush.
If you're trying to improve your home's water efficiency, replacing a toilet is a
good place to start. Did you know WaterSense approved toilets use only 1.28
gallons per flush? Here are two great reasons to purchase a WaterSense toilet
right now:
- Selecting the right toilet is easy, thanks to WaterSense—a new program sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency. The WaterSense label is used on toilets that are certified by independent laboratory testing to meet rigorous criteria for both performance and efficiency. Only toilets that complete the certification process earn the WaterSense label.
- Launched January 2009, the City of Tigard began offering up to $150 off to your water bill when you replace your old water guzzling toilet with a new WaterSense certified model which only uses 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf). (Reimbursement is $75 per toilet with a maximum of 2 per household.)
Save more than water
A WaterSense Toilet can save you water and money. For example, replacing a 3.5
gpf toilet with a 1.28 gpf WaterSense toilet could save as much as 4,000* gallons
per person per year. For a family of 4, your new toilet could pay for itself in
just over a year!
*Based on the national estimate of 5 flushes per person per day.

Water Smart Landscape Reimbursement
|
Do you know you can have a beautiful lawn and garden while saving water and money?
The City of Tigard is now offering a $50 reimbursement to help you develop a water smart
landscape! Read about the eligibility requirements
and how to apply.
The greatest waste of water is watering too much, too often. Being water conscientious
is a great start to a water smart landscape. Watering
thoroughly, but infrequently, produces a deep-rooted lawn which is more
water-efficient and drought-tolerant.
By using the products in this program, you will find that you can still have a beautiful
garden while saving water.
