Tucson Water Home Toilet Rebate and Toilet Information for All!

I installed my water efficient toilets in October 2006, so I can't make use of this, but maybe you can. Tucson Water is offering rebates to help qualifying customers replace old, inefficient pre-1991 toilets with new, high-performance, water-efficient toilet fixtures. See this website for a list of over 200 USEPA-approved toilets. (Readers who don't live in Tucson can check this out, too.) http://www.epa.gov/watersense/pp/find_het.htm

If any of you, my readers, make use of information on this Blog, will you let me know in the comments section? I'd like to hear if any of this makes any practical difference. Thanks!
