Madison Toilet Rebate Program

Program Overview

Madison Water Utilities wants you to know about the current Toilet Rebate Program. Low-to-moderate income homeowners may be eligible for toilet installation assistance through our Home Water Conservation Program. If you haven’t found out about this program, take the time to update your understanding about how you can save yourself more money.

The Home Water Conservation Program and the Madison Water Utility and Project Home are teaming-up to help low-to-moderate income homeowners save water and money! Project Home and Madison Water Utility are working together to launch the first water conservation program in Wisconsin aimed at helping low-to-moderate income homeowners reduce water waste, increase efficiency and save money on their water bills.

The Home Water Conservation Program will focus on:

• Installing high-efficiency toilets – (1.28 Gallons Per Flush or less)
• Fixing plumbing leaks – (in the U.S., a trillion gallons of drinking water are lost every year because of plumbing leaks)
• Installing water saving devices – (faucet aerators and low-flow shower heads can save thousands of gallons of water a year)
• Projects will take place throughout the year as low-to-moderate income homeowners are identified and their situations evaluated. Water conservation improvements will be performed at the homes of low-to-moderate income Madison Water Utility customers ONLY. Contact Project Home today to see if you are eligible for this new program!

Program Overview – Madison Water Utility is offering bill credits of up to $100 for customers who replace high water using toilets with EPA WaterSense-rated High Efficiency Toilet (HET) models.

Toilets eligible for rebate must be HETs (which use 1.28 gallons per flush or less) and must be on the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense list. The program is limited to one rebate in the form of a bill credit per household or apartment unit for residential and multi-family customers. Commercial, industrial, and public authority customers are limited to 20 rebates in the form of bill credits per property address.
