The South Florida Water Management District Governing Board recently approved investments in nine projects for Fiscal Year 2012 through the agency’s Water Savings Incentive Program (WaterSIP). One of the nine projects is the City of St. Cloud Public Services’ Toilet Rebate Program.

“This program should save more than two million gallons of water per year and will help customers save money on their utility bills year-round,” said Public Services Administrator Randy Jackson. “The program offers up to $145 as an incentive for customers to replace existing high-flow toilets with WaterSense high-efficiency models. This is a great way toencourage homeowners to reduce indoor water usage.”

The Toilet Rebate Program is for qualifying purchases made from October 1 through July 1, 2012 (one rebate per household while funds last). The program is available to City of St. Cloud residential water customers who use city of St. Cloud businesses for the purchase and installation of a qualifying high-efficiency toilet. Existing toilets must be disposed of through the Solid Waste Division; details are provided in the application documentation.  

To apply, download an application packet from http://www.stcloud.org/index.aspx?nid=959and call (407) 957-7264 to receive a confirmation code that ensures funding is still available. To receive the rebate, customers must return the completed application along with the receipt for the toilet and installation within 30 days.  Following the acceptance of the receipt, all required paperwork, and collection of the existing toilet, the City will provide a credit on the next available OUC utility bill.

For more details, call (407) 957-7264. For a list of St. Cloud businesses selling the qualifying high-efficiency toilet, review the “frequently asked questions” document located atwww.stcloud.org > Departments > Environmental Utilities > Toilet Rebate Program.
