Comox Valley Toilet Rebate Program

To be eligible for the program you must meet the following criteria:

• Applicants must be registered owners of legal dwelling units on properties connected to the Comox Valley water system which includes most homes within the City of Courtenay, Town of Comox, and CVRD water local service areas such as Arden, Comox Valley, England Road, Marsden/Camco and Greaves Crescent.
  
• Properties serviced by private wells or utilities, improvement districts (e.g. Sandwick, Union Bay), the Village of Cumberland as well as the Royston and Black Creek-Oyster Bay water local service areas do not qualify as they are not fed by the Comox Valley water system. The program is funded only by those connected to the Comox Valley water system. Maps of the CVRD water local service areas are available on the CVRD website here.
  
• Must have replaced an old inefficient toilet that uses 13 L or more per flush (ensure flush volume, usually stamped on toilet) with one that is considered high-efficiency (4.8 L/flush) or dual flush (usually three and six L/flush) and is CSA (Canadian Standards Association) approved. 
  
• Must be in a residence built prior to September, 2008 as newer homes should have water efficient toilets already installed under the BC Building Code requirements.
  
• Must have a sales receipt for a new high efficiency or dual flush toilet dated January 1, 2011 or later.
  
• Dual-flush and high efficiency (4.8L/flush) toilets purchased under the 2010 toilet rebate program are eligible only if they were purchased between April 20, 2010 and December 31, 2010. All 2010 rebate applications must be submitted by March 31, 2011.
  
• Must have a disposal receipt for each toilet for which you will be applying for a rebate which can be obtained by disposing of your old toilet at the Comox Valley Waste Management Centre (2400 Pidgeon Lake Road, Cumberland).  Homeowners who retain the services of qualified plumbers can submit the new toilet receipt and the application form if they include a receipt from the plumber showing the plumber’s name, company info, signature and technical qualification (TQ) number.
  
• Must complete an application form.  Applications will be processed on a first come, first served basis while the funding lasts.
