Get rid of your old throne and save a king's ransom
in money and water.
With the SAWS Kick the Can Program, getting rid of your old
water-wasting toilet saves you water and money.
Free Water-efficient Toilet
Through the Kick the Can program, SAWS will give you up to two
new water-efficient toilets absolutely free. And it's so simple
- SAWS has already found high-quality water saving toilets
for you. And did we mention they're free?
| Who's eligible? |
- SAWS customers who have water-wasting toilets
in their residence and the residence was built
prior to 1992.
- SAWS residential customers with one or more
rental properties built prior to 1992. Renters
must complete
a Landlord
Consent form.
|
Who is not eligible? |
- SAWS commercial customers. Commercial
customers should apply for rebates
through the SAWS
Commercial Retrofit Programs.
For further information call 704-SAVE.
- Customers receiving only sewer service from SAWS.
- New bathroom additions built after 1992.
- SAWS residential customers replacing an existing
1.6 gallon water-efficient toilet with a new water-efficient
toilet.
- SAWS records all toilet retrofits by address.
If the records show that the maximum number of
toilets have been replaced at a given address,
no further rebate will be provided. SAWS prequalifies
each applicant through its RetroFit records and
the Bexar Appraisal District for the number of
bathrooms in a residence.

| Flapper Hint |
| Flappers should be changed at least once a year (along
with your
smoke
alarm batteries). It is important to get the right flapper
for
your
specific model of toilet. If you settle for a one-size-fits-all
flapper,
you’re likely to use more water with each flush.
For more information on what flapper you need, click
here.
|
| Replacing the Flapper |
- Shut off water supply to toilet.
- Remove
old flapper. Attach new flapper to the
mounting
arms.
- Fasten
chain onto lift arm with enclosed hook.
There should be
minimal slack in the closed position.
- Turn on water supply.
|
 |
NOTE: The top edge
of the flush valve outlet should be smooth and free of
pits and calcium deposits as this serves as the sealing
surface.
