Water Conservation

  • 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. Plus, they can earn you a $75 rebate and better savings on your water bill. For details on these rebates offered between now and July 1, 2007, 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) that it is selling for only $25.00! 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.
