Money-Saving Opportunities
To help Manitobans reduce their water consumption, save money on water costs and protect our valuable water resources, the Manitoba government is offering a variety of money-saving opportunities.
On February 21, 2009, Get a $50 Instant Rebate on Eligible Dual-Flush Toilets!
On February 21st, the Manitoba government will give you the chance to replace your high water consumption toilet with a dual-flush, low-flow toilet while saving $50 off the regular retail price.
Why Dual-Flush? Dual-flush toilets provide two buttons for flushing, giving you the option to use 6 litres or less per flush. These high efficiency toilets will help you save water and money while conserving our precious water for future generations.
This instant rebate offer is available on eligible dual-flush toilets at participating retailers across the province (see list below). You may wish to contact your nearest retailer for more information on eligible models, colour selection, store hours and product availability as selection will vary by retailer. Rebate is limited to 2 toilets per customer.
