Town of Sylvan Lake offers toilet rebate program

The Town of Sylvan Lake is introducing a rebate program for homeowners who replace high flow toilets with a low flow alternative.

Effective immediately, homeowners will receive a rebate on their utility accounts for $50 should they choose to exchange their high flow toilet with a low flow toilet and a $100 rebate for those who install a dual flush toilet.

“We are continuously working to lessen our environmental footprint,” John Watson, Operations Foreman for the Town of Sylvan Lake said. “This policy provides home owners with a financial incentive to install a toilet that dramatically reduces the amount of water utilized in their home every month. The benefits of this will not only be seen on their utility bill, but on a much larger scale as the years go by.”


In order to qualify for the rebate program, the residence must be on the town’s metered water system and must be replacing a toilet with a flush volume of 13L or more with a low flow flush volume of 6L or less. Condo associations or owners of multi-family residential buildings are encouraged to contact the Town of Sylvan Lake Operations prior to replacements.

Application forms for the Toilet Rebate Program are available at Town Hall, Public Works or on-line here. In order to receive a rebate, the original receipt of the new toilet must be attached to the application form. If the toilet replacement qualifies, a credit will be applied directly to the applicant’s utility account.

*Did you know that on average each person in a home will flush the toilet six times a day – which is more than 14,000 litres every month? Low flow toilets can save as much as 16 litres per flush*
