$100 in free water?! That’s right – the City of Atlanta will give you a $100 credit towards your water bill for installing an approved 1.28 gallon-per-flush toilet, or $50 for a 1.6 gallon-per-flush potty. Another benefit? You can save an estimated 45 gallons of water EVERY DAY with a new and improved toilet!
 
And the number of people who have taken advantage of this low-flow toilet rebate is growing every day. In the August newsletter from the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, they announced that 419 people had taken advantage of the rebate so far.
 
Another group that is experiencing improved water flow is Atlanta’s senior citizens. 15 seniors so far have had low-flow toilets installed courtesy of the Department of Watershed Management and Southeast Energy. Qualifying customers must be 65 years or older and:
? Have a maximum annual household income of $25,000
? Live in a home that was built before 1993
? Be the primary title holder or leaseholder on the property
? Have a water account in good standing with the City of Atlanta
? Have existing toilets that use more than 1.6 gallons per flush.
 
If you meet these qualifications, please call 404.546.1264. These retrofits are partially funded through a federal Community Development Block Grant.
