Conserve the flow and keep more dough!

Good news, Lethbridge: the 2025 Environmental Incentive Program is now accepting applications! The program offers rebates for purchasing rain barrels and replacing old, inefficient toilets with new low-flow toilets. The initiative is part of the Water Conservation Plan and Strategy, approved by City Council in April 2024.

The program runs from April 22 through December 31, or until funding runs out. Each household can get up to two rebates for low-flow toilets and two for rain barrels. For both items, the rebate covers 50 per cent of the cost, up to $100 each. Any City of Lethbridge resident with a residential water utility account is eligible. Rebate amounts will be applied directly to that account.

“The 2024 public survey showed overwhelming support for these rebates,” says Environmental Manager, Mark Svenson. “It’s clear Lethbridge residents care about conserving water and making environmentally responsible choices. This program is a great way for people to take action at home and be part of a larger solution.”

All applications are subject to approval and require specific supporting documents.

Low-flow toilet:

• A photo of your old toilet (bonus if it shows litres or gallons per flush).
• A receipt for the new toilet, purchased in Canada during the program term.
• A photo of the new toilet with LPF/GPF rating or WaterSense label clearly visible.
• A photo of the new toilet installed.

Rain barrel:

• A receipt showing it was purchased in Canada during the program term.
• A photo of the new rain barrel.

Let’s work together to protect our environment and conserve water, one smart upgrade at a time.
