Cobb County Georgia Water System's New Toilet Rebate Program

The biggest water user in the home is the toilet. Up to 45% of the water used indoors is flushed down the drain everyday. Cobb County Water System is introducing a toilet rebate program approved by the Board of Commissioners on October 29, 2007. The goal of the program is to provide an incentive for customers in homes built prior to 1993, to retrofit older high flow toilets with new low flow technology. Cobb County Water System also offers customers low flow retrofit kits to help them achieve greater water savings. Please contact the water efficiency program for a retrofit kit. Customers will be eligible to receive rebates for up to 3 toilets per home. If the same brand and model toilets are chosen please fill out one application if different models are chosen fill out one application for each model. This program is available for approved toilets purchased on, or after the Drought level 4 declaration on September 20, 2007.

The program has two rebate options. The first is a $50.00 rebate for the purchase of any approved 1.6 gallon per flush toilet on the approved toilet list. The $50.00 list will be updated every year, coinciding with the annual Maximum Performance Testing.

The second program option is a $100.00 rebate for high efficiency toilets, toilets using 1.28 gallons per flush, which have earned the WaterSense Label and are included on the approved toilet list..

Please submit the original purchase receipt and the application to:

Toilet Valve Rebate Program

Up to two hundred gallons of water a day can be lost to toilet leaks, many of them are silent. More than a gallon of water can be wasted every flush waiting for the tank to refill. In an effort to target wasted water and assist our multi-family customers, Cobb County Water System is offering a 50% rebate on the purchase of HydroClean 660 Toilet Valves for master metered and multi-family properties.

The HydroClean 660 valve offers a two-pronged savings. First, it can be adjusted to eliminate the additional water sent down the overflow tube after the tank has filled. Secondly, it is the only valve with jets at the bottom of the tank that send an auditory signal anytime the toilet is leaking, alerting customers to leaks, and prompting immediate repair.

Taking advantage of this program is easy. The management of the property simply purchases the valves and has them installed. Then fill out the application form and submit it and your original receipt to the Water efficiency Program for a credit on your water bill in the amount of 50% of the purchase price.
