If your home was built before 1992 and you have a toilet that uses 3.5 gallons of water per flush or more, you may be eligible to receive a rebate—a credit on your account for EID customers or a check by mail for City of Placerville customers. To qualify, the new toilet must be installed at an address that receives water service from EID or the City of Placerville. Refer to the rebate application for a complete description of eligibility requirements.
2010 TOILET REBATES. EID offers rebates for the purchase and installation of new high efficiency (HE) WaterSense rated toilets using 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) or less to EID or City of Placerville water service customers. These rebates are made possible in part by grant funding from the California Department of Water Resources through EID’s membership in the Regional Water Authority. A $175 rebate is available for qualifying HE toilets—up to the retail cost, whichever is less—and customers must pay the sales tax. NOTE: Due to Statewide changes in 2009, ultra low flow toilets rated at 1.6 gallons per flush no longer qualify for a rebate.
To learn more about qualifying U. S. EPA WaterSense HE toilets (1.28 gpf), click here. To ensure your satisfaction, EID recommends that the new HE toilet have a maximum performance rating (MaP) of 500 grams or more. To apply: download a copy of our 2010 rebate application, fill in the form completely to avoid delays, attach a copy of your sales receipt, and then drop off or send by mail to EID’s Office of Water Efficiency, 2890 Mosquito Road, Placerville, CA 95667.
Please allow approximately 10 to 12 weeks for the processing of your rebate.

WATER CONSERVATION KITS. In 1992 the State of California adopted new plumbing standards for toilets, showerheads, and faucet aerators. If your home was built prior to 1992 and your plumbing fixtures are still high-flow, then COMPLIMENTARY low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators, plus toilet tank dams, are available for your home. Click here to download a simple questionnaire, then print it out and submit by fax to 530-642-4512, by email to officeofwaterefficiency@eid.org, or by mail to 2890 Mosquito Road, Placerville, CA 95667. A kit will be mailed to your home, or you may also pick up a kit at EID's headquarters building at the same address where the questionnaires are available at the front desk.
TOILET DYE TABS. Leak detection dye tabs are also available to our customers to detect if water is leaking out of the toilet tank into the toilet bowl between flushes. Simply place a blue dye tab in your toilet tank, and if the blue dye seeps into the toilet bowl, your toilet is leaking and repair or replacement is recommended. To obtain toilet dye tabs, contact EID’s Office of Water Efficiency at 530-642-4126 or officeofwaterefficiency@eid.org or stop by EID’s headquarters building at 2890 Mosquito Road in Placerville.
2010 WATER WISE HOUSE CALLS. Due to reductions in staffing, EID regrets that our popular residential indoor/outdoor water survey program will not be offered in 2010. Instead, we encourage you to utilize any of the above programs to improve your water efficiency. You may also visit our LANDSCAPE webpage for information regarding a grant-funded rebate program for weather-based irrigation controllers and irrigation system improvements that begin with a landscape-only water survey.
