Coral Springs Residents Can Get $125 Rebates for Water-Saving Toilets |

Replacing older toilets with WaterSense models can reduce water use while qualifying homes for rebates and free efficiency upgrades.
Coral Springs homeowners may qualify for rebates of up to $125 per toilet when replacing older toilets with water-saving high-efficiency models through a regional conservation program.
The rebate is offered through the Broward Water Partnership, a coalition of 16 local governments and utilities working to reduce water demand and protect South Florida’s water resources.
Coral Springs is one of the participating communities offering the incentive.
The program encourages residents and businesses to replace older toilets with WaterSense certified High Efficiency Toilets (HETs) that use 1.28 gallons per flush or less.
Why the Program Exists
Many older toilets still in homes today use far more water than modern models.
Some toilets installed before 1980 used 5 to 7 gallons per flush. Even toilets manufactured between 1980 and the mid-1990s often used 3.5 gallons per flush.
Modern high-efficiency toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, dramatically reducing household water consumption.
For example, replacing a 7-gallon-per-flush toilet with a high-efficiency model could save up to 5.7 gallons every time the toilet is flushed.
For a family of four, those savings can add up to nearly 44,000 gallons of water per year.
How Much Residents Can Receive
Eligible Coral Springs homeowners can receive up to two rebates per household, with each rebate covering up to $125 or the cost of the toilet, whichever is less.
Property owners and property managers of multi-family buildings, nonprofit organizations, commercial buildings, and institutional facilities may receive up to five rebates or request additional rebates for larger projects.
To qualify, the new toilet must:
Pre-approval Is Required
One important detail: applicants must be approved before purchasing and installing a new toilet.
Residents begin the process by submitting a rebate application through the program website or by requesting an application through their local water utility.
Once approved, applicants receive instructions for purchasing, installing, and submitting documentation for the rebate.
Additional Free Water-saving Upgrades
In addition to toilet rebates, the program offers other conservation upgrades.
Participating communities including Coral Springs may provide free water-efficient showerheads and low-flow faucet aerators while supplies last.
Water-efficient showerheads typically use 2.0 gallons per minute or less, compared to standard models that use about 2.5 gallons per minute.
The average household installing a water-efficient showerhead could save more than 2,300 gallons of water each year, along with energy savings from reduced water heating.
Why These Programs Matter
South Florida relies on a carefully managed water supply system that includes groundwater aquifers, canals, and conservation areas.
Reducing water demand through efficiency programs helps local utilities extend infrastructure capacity while lowering environmental impacts.
For residents, the programs also offer a practical benefit.
High-efficiency toilets and fixtures can significantly reduce household water use and may lower long-term utility costs.
Insider Layer: Residents considering the rebate should check the gallons-per-flush rating stamped inside their toilet tank or near the seat hinge.
If the existing toilet uses 1.6 gallons per flush or more, it may qualify for replacement under the program.
Applications must be approved before purchasing the new toilet, so residents should verify eligibility first to ensure the rebate remains available. Check eligibility and get answers here..
