The City of Cocoa Utilities Department is offering 65 toilet rebates to customers in our service area on a first come first served basis in a continuing effort to conserve water.
Toilets account for 30% of the water usage in the home. Older homes can have a toilet that uses up to 5-7 gallons per flush.
An average household with four residents flushes the toilet 24 times a day which uses 52,560 gallons a year. When the water-guzzling toielt (6 gallons per flush) is replaced with a 1.6 gallon per flush toilet, that same household of four uses 14,016 gallons of water a year. That is a savings of 38,544 gallons of water per year.
To obtain the eligibility requirements, please call the Water Conservation Officer Monday - Friday 7:30 AM --4:30 PM at (321) 639-7602 or e-mail: ccarter@cocoafl.org.
Do to the success of the program it has been extended for an additional 32 rebates.
