Toilet Rebate
In an effort to help customers reduce water use, Centennial Water & Sanitation District presents the 2012 Low-Flow Toilet Rebate Program. 

In 1992, the U.S. Energy Policy Act was passed and provided low-flow standards for plumbing fixtures and appliances.  Effective January 1, 1994 all toilets manufactured and sold in the United States must be 1.6 gallons per flush or less.  Prior to 1994, toilets ranged from 3.5 to 5.5 gallons per flush.  It is estimated that by replacing older and less efficient toilets with low-flow models can save approximately 10,000 gallons of water per year.

The goal of the pilot program is to encourage customers who have not previously replaced their older, less efficient toilets, with those that use 1.6 gallons per flush or less.  Centennial Water will provide a $50 rebate for up to three toilets per customer.  To qualify, customers must replace an older toilet that uses 3.5 gallons per flush or more.  Customers in homes built after January 1, 1994 will not be eligible. 

Rain Sensor Rebates
Approximately 50 percent or more of the rain we receive during any rain storm can be used by our landscapes.  Unfortunately, it is very difficult to predict when we will get this beneficial moisture so that we can turn off our irrigation controllers to save water.  That’s why Centennial Water & Sanitation District has decided to provide rebates for rain sensors. 

Rain sensors are devices that can be added on to any irrigation system in order to interrupt the normal watering schedule when it rains.  Rain sensors come in two varieties: wired and wireless.  Wired versions have a sensor mounted on the outside of the house with a wire running directly back to the irrigation controller.  Wireless versions have a sensor mounted on the house that communicates via radio signal with a receiver mounted near your irrigation controller.

Starting in 2010, Centennial Water offered rebates for the purchase and installation of rain sensors for both residential and non-residential customers.  The rebate program coincides with a new requirement for all non-residential irrigation systems to have a rain sensor installed and operating.  Click on the link to view the rebate requirements and application.

Ultra Low-Flow Urinals
Ultra low-flow urinals use only one eighth of a gallon of water per flush.  This can result in a water savings of 88 percent when compared to the current standard of 1.0 gallons per flush urinal.  In 2010 Centennial Water began offering rebates to customers who replace their current 1.0 gpf or greater urinal with one that uses one eighth of a gallon per flush.  Click on the link to view the rebate requirements and application.
