- Toilets are the biggest water wasters in your home. To encourage the purchase of more efficient models, the SFPUC offers rebates for both Ultra-Low Flush Toilets (ULFTs) and High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs). Now the standard in the U.S., ULFT’s do not use more than 1.6 gallons per flush and the SFPUC offers a $125 rebate for these models. HETs use about 20% less water than even ULFTs. For details on the current rebate offers, see the Residential Toilet Rebates program Web page or call (415) 551-4730.
- The SFPUC also has a limited number of Ultra-Low Flush toilets (ULFTs). However, supplies are limited, so hurry and call today if you’re interested. If you have an older toilet, switching to a ULFT can save you thousands of gallons of water a year. See the Residential Toilet Rebates Web page for details and an application. Of course, you can also call the SFPUC’s Water Conservation Programs Section at (415) 551-4730.
- To make water conservation even more attractive, the SFPUC gives away FREE showerheads and faucet attachments, too. These faucet aerators and low-flow showerheads make more efficient use of water, resulting in an average savings of 14,000 gallons a year! The devices are free, easy to install and can significantly cut your utility bills. Why not take advantage of this offer? Call (415) 551-4730 or visit the SFPUC Customer Service Department, 1155 Market Street, San Francisco to pick up one of each.
You should realize that the SFPUC may require an on-site inspection to approve your rebate application. Programs also fall within specific time frames, so it's advisable to call (415) 551-4730 or consult the SFPUC’s Web site for details.
