Low-Flow Toilet Replacement Rebate

Waste Water Treatment Plant

The City of Peterborough offers a rebate to assist residents with purchasing low-flow toilets to replace existing, less-efficient toilets as a way to reduce water use.

Toilets make up almost 30% of residential indoor water use. We offer a $50 rebate for residents living in the City who replace their existing toilet with a WaterSense certified toilet.

To complete the application form, you will need:

  • Name and manufacturer of toilet you just purchased
  • Electronic copy of the receipt or bill of sale
  • Fill out the direct deposit form to go along with the application.

You can apply online using our interactive application form.

The rebate is only available for replacing toilets in residential units in the City that are connected to both the municipal water and sanitary sewer system. You can apply for up to two rebates per residential unit. Owners of multi-unit residential properties or apartments should register with the City to determine eligibility before replacing toilets.
