Rockdale Water Resources is partnering with the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District to implement a Toilet Retrofit Rebate Program for qualified customers. Eligible RWR customers can apply for a rebate to replace older toilets that use three to seven gallons more per flush for newer, low-flow toilets that use 1.28 gallons per flush.

Each eligible customer may receive up to $100 per toilet, with a maximum of two toilets per household for a potential rebate of up to $200. Rebates are applied as a credit to customers' accounts only. No checks will be issued for rebates. The program begins October.

1. The MNGWPD will accept applications on RWR's behalf and will verify whether customers have met program criteria. Program qualifications are:
1. Must be an active RWR residential (single-family dwelling) customer in good standing. A copy of a customer's most recent bill is required.
2. Eligible homes include those built before or during 1993.
3. Original receipt for low-flow toilet must be submitted within 60 days of purchase.
4. Toilet must be WaterSense-approved 1.28 gallons per flush
The program is designed to promote water conservation with the new low-flow toilets. With these types of toilets, the potential water savings of about three to seven gallons per flush can add up quickly over a 30 billing period depending on family size.

"Our water resources are finite, and this is a way great way to save water as well as reduce your water bill at the same time," RWR Director Dwight Wicks said.

RWR encourages all its customers to periodically check their toilets for leaks as this is one of the top sources of home related leaks.
