​Application for, Terms & Conditions, rebate rate and eligibility rules for Halton's Toilet Rebate. 

Halton Region sponsors a program that provides those in single-family homes with a rebate for switching to an approved water-efficient toilet. Making the switch will help you:

  • reduce your water use in your home.
  • reduce your impact on the environment.

To allow as many residents to participate in the program as possible:

  • there is a limit of 1 toilet rebate per residence (not 1 per year).
  • rebates will be issued on a first-come first-served basis.
  • For multi-residential rental buildings please contact Water Efficiency Program or call 905-825-6000.

All eligible toilets are WaterSense (external link)® Certified. Look for the WaterSense (external link)® logo on the box.
