Is There a Water Rebate Program Near You?
The number of states and cities offering rebates to install water-reducing fixtures, such as Waterless urinals, varies year after year.
In most cases, the rebates are designed to expire after two to five years. Sometimes they are renewed; other times, they are not. Further, some states in the country have never had a rebate program for water-reducing fixtures. However, once they experience a drought or a water shortage, they typically begin one.
The point of this is that these programs are not set in stone. They do come and go. Also, be aware of the following:
· In some states, only certain cities or water districts within those states have a water-related rebate program.
· The rebate may apply only to residences in some situations or commercial facilities, or both.
· In some instances, the rebate is in the form of a tax credit; in other situations, it is applied when the fixture is purchased.
· The credit may be covered by a non-government, private association set up to help reduce water consumption in a specific state.
· The water rebate may be based on the amount of water saved by purchasing the new fixture.
· The amounts of the rebate vary.
· In some cases, the rebate applies to toilets only; in others, it includes urinals and additional fixtures proven to use water more efficiently.
Aware of all this, the following are the states in the U.S. that currently have some sort of rebate program in place as of 2020 for installing water-reducing fixtures.
