WaterStar Rebates

This program is only available to WaterStar Business Recognition Program participants

To assist customers with meeting the WaterStar Business Recognition Program criteria, IRWD is offering a rebate of up to $300 for each eligible EPA WaterSense labeled toilet model to WaterStar participants.

A commercial High-Efficiency Toilet comes in two categories, either as a tank toilet or a flushometer toilet and uses 1.28 gallons per flush. Eligible toilets must replace existing toilets using at least 1.6 gallons per flush.

• High-Efficiency Tank Toilets must have a matching bowl and tank and must be listed on the qualifying products list as provided on the IRWD website.
• High Efficiency Flushometer Toilet rebates must have both a qualifying bowl and a qualifying flush valve and both must be listed on the qualifying products list.

Any pairing between a qualified valve and bowl from this list will be accepted, as long as all other program terms and conditions are met. Modification of existing valves or use of valve kits does not qualify for a rebate.

For more information on how to purchase qualified products, contact your local plumbing retailer.
