Dear Patricia,

I do not have the application for the rebate in your area. You can find it here http://www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/uploadedFiles/Property_Services/Water/CVRD_Toilet_Rebate_Application_fillabe.pdf.
More information on the rebate can be found here http://www.comoxvalleyrd.ca/notices.asp?id=4516

Remodeling your bathroom is a big job. There are so countless different components to consider including bath, shower, cabinets, flooring, and wall covering. Selecting the right bathroom wall covering is a significant part of making a successful appearance in your bathroom. One issue you need to look at when choosing a bathroom wall covering is the quantity of moisture it will be exposed to.

This is such a great and detailed article. All of the toilets in our home are out of date and we will definitely be upgrading them soon.
I write a green blog and we posted an article on a DIY low volume flush toilet but the Caroma dual flush looks like such an elegant solution.

Thanks for the great information
Martin

hello jmp,
your german translation program has a lot of room for improvement. I can only guess what you were trying to say. Is it easy to change habits? I believe so, but I may be wrong. I always welcomed change and used it as a challenge to better myself.

I think dual flush toilets are a great option. . . . hopefully they’ll continue to grow in popularity. Stay in touch!

Comment on Toilet Rebate Incentive Program in Madison, WI by Mandy

I think it is fantastic how the stimulus funds are making a difference. They are being taken advantage of all the time with the installation of geothermal heat pumps to replace high energy heating and cooling systems.

Comment on Toilet Rebate in Portland, OR – only while budget lasts or until June 30,2009 by pottygirl

pottygirl — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:11:30 +0000

Hi Juliet,

yes, unfortunately the rebate program is no longer available. This is the info I found on http://www.portlandonline.com:

May 4th, 2009: WaterSense toilet rebate funds have been depleted, there are no more rebates available. We do not anticipate offering a toilet rebate again in the near future.
Portland’s abundant precipitation generally falls during the spring, fall, and winter when we’re not watering our lawns, washing our cars outside and/or drinking lots of water on hots days.
During the dry summer months, the city augments its Bull Run supply with water from the city’s groundwater source. And just when we have less water available in the Bull Run – we start to water our lawns and gardens and wash our cars.

Luckily, there are many simple changes customers can make in their water use habits to reduce their overall usage. Find out what you can do!

The Portland Water Bureau’s Water Conservation Program can be reached at 503-823-4527 or conserve@water.ci.portland.or.us

I believe more and more people understand the bounds between environment and our health, luckily. Unfortunately, not everybody is able to make the right decisions when needed
