Did You Know....

The City of Port Orange has a
Low Flow Toilet Rebate Program?


If a Residential or Commercial Public Utilities Customer has an older high-flow toilet replaced with a low-flow toilet at their residence or business, the Ciy will issue a $50.00 check for each toilet replaced.
There is a limit of two rebates per residence or unit.

Why install a low-flow toilet? A low-flow toilet conserves potable water, which saves you - the customer money. Some residences have reduced their usage by 50%! This adds up to real savings and helps the City use our water resources more effectively.

Some People say low-flow toilets don't flush properly. Current toilets are designed for the lower volume of water so they flush more efficiently. Ask your plumber or the salesman at your hardware store about the right toilet for your family's needs.

Procedures to receive a rebate.

  • Install toilet.
  • Save receipt.
  • Call 506-5756 or 506-5750 to receive an application for a low-flow toilet rebate from the Public Utilities Department.
  • Mail completed form with original receipt to the Public Utilities Dept.
  • A check for $50.00 or $100.00 will be sent to the owner with their original receipt in approximately three to four weeks.
