2026 Home Water Savings Rebate Program

Replacing an older, inefficient or leaky fixture is a simple way to save on your water bills while also protecting Calgary’s water supply.

Open August 4 to December 1, 2026, or until available rebate funding is fully allocated, whichever comes first. 

The City of Calgary and Green Calgary are working in collaboration to provide Calgarians with an opportunity to receive a rebate of up to $150 for upgrading to a bathroom fixture with a WaterSense label starting August 4th, 2026. 

The rebate program closes December 1, 2026, or when available rebate funding is fully allocated, whichever comes first. Funding is limited and rebates are available on a first come, first served basis. Applying does not guarantee approval or payment, so applicants should review the full program details before purchasing and installing a fixture. 

How the Rebate Works 

What: Green Calgary issues rebates on behalf of The City of Calgary. Successful applicants may receive their rebate by e-transfer or mailed cheque. Green Calgary may use Plooto, a third-party payment processor, to issue rebate payments.

When: If your application is approved, you should receive your rebate within 8 to 10 weeks of submitting a complete application. E-transfer is expected to be faster than mailed cheque.

How: Eligible applicants who purchase and install one eligible WaterSense-labelled bathroom fixture from a retailer, supplier or contractor may apply with an itemized receipt or invoice and may receive up to $150 back.

 

Please Note: Applicants must provide the ENMAX Water Account information required to verify the household, unit or address entered in the application. Consent for The City of Calgary to access the required ENMAX Water Account information is required to submit the application.

Only the following types of fixtures are eligible:  

  • Toilets (non-flushometer-valve toilets)  
  • Bathroom sink faucets  
  • Showerheads

Bathroom tubs and kitchen faucets are not eligible because WaterSense does not provide a label for kitchen faucets. 

Various brands and retailers can have products with the WaterSense label, which you can search for using the following link: https://www.epa.gov/watersense/product-search

When shopping, look for the following label on the product packaging:

No. The rebate applies to one eligible WaterSense-labelled bathroom fixture at one eligible household, unit or address. Applicants cannot combine multiple fixtures, households, units or addresses into one rebate claim. 

This is a limited pilot program with limited rebate funding. The one-fixture limit helps make the program available to as many eligible Calgarians as possible while funding lasts.

Some renters may be eligible if they are the residential water utility account holder for the household, unit or address where the fixture was installed and meet all other program requirements. If a renter is not the water utility account holder, or does not have authority to replace the fixture, they can share the program information with their landlord or property owner before purchasing or installing a fixture.

Landlords, property managers or multi-unit property owners may only be eligible if they are applying for one qualifying household, unit or address and meet all program requirements. Bulk, multi-property or whole-building applications are not eligible.

No. Only fixtures purchased and installed on or after Aug. 4, 2026 are eligible.

No. The fixture must be purchased and installed before applying. 

Yes. Contractor- or plumber-supplied fixtures may be eligible if all program requirements are met. The invoice or receipt must clearly show the eligible WaterSense-labelled fixture, including the manufacturer, make/model or product information, and the amount paid by the applicant. Labour, installation, plumbing services, tools and other related costs are not covered by the rebate.

If your application is approved, you should receive your rebate within 8 to 10 weeks of submitting a complete application. Mailed cheques may take longer to arrive than e-transfer.

Funding is limited and is expected to support approximately 1,500 rebates, depending on the rebate amounts approved. Applications are reviewed on a first come, first served basis.

If available funding is fully allocated, the program may close before Dec. 1, 2026. If funding remains available, additional eligible applications may continue to be reviewed until the program closes or available funding is allocated.

No. Only the following WaterSense labelled products are eligible:

  • Toilets (non-flushometer-valve toilets)  
  • Bathroom sink faucets  
  • Showerheads

Applicants may choose to receive their rebate via cheque or e-transfer.  

Both cheques and e-transfers will be administered by a third-party payment processing software called Plooto. Plooto does not offer autodeposit for first-time payments and will email the recipient to accept the payment. Requirements include a security question and banking details.  

E-transfers sent through Plooto may only be deposited into Canadian banks. If you do not have a Canadian bank account, select mailed cheque as your rebate payment method.  

After your rebate application is received and approved, you will receive detailed instructions on how to receive payment.

Old toilets, faucets and showerheads should not be placed in your blue cart.

Before disposing of your old fixture, consider whether any parts can be reused, repaired or donated. If the fixture cannot be reused, place it in your black cart if it fits safely. Larger items, such as toilets, may need to be taken to a City landfill or disposal facility.

Use The City of Calgary’s What Goes Where residential recycling and disposal search tool to check disposal options for toilets, faucets, packaging and other materials. If you are unsure how to dispose of a specific item, contact 311.
