Board of Water Supply Launches a New Residential Rebate on WaterSense Toilets 

HONOLULU –  The Honolulu Board of Water Supply (BWS) has launched a new toilet rebate as part of its WaterSensible Program and to support the BWS’s voluntary conservation request for Oahu water users. 

Customers who replace an older toilet model with an EPA WaterSense-labeled model can receive a rebate of up to $45 per toilet, with a limit of two per household. 

“Think about how many times a day the toilet in your home is flushed. With this new rebate, residents can save up to 13,000 gallons of water per year,” said Ernest Lau, BWS Manager and Chief Engineer. “Over time, customers will be able to see long-term savings on their water bill while helping to preserve our limited yet precious water resources.” 

A WaterSense toilet uses about 1.28 gallons of water per flush (gpf). That’s 30% less water than the current federal standard toilet of 1.68 gpf. 

BWS customers can apply for and learn more about this and other residential and commercial rebates at www.boardofwatersupply.com/rebates
