The Utah Water Savers Toilet Replacement Program is coming to an end, according to a September 2 report. Since its launch in 2019, the initiative has assisted more than 4,500 Utah households in replacing nearly 6,000 high-water-use toilets with new EPA WaterSense labeled models.
The program was designed for homes built before 1994, following the implementation of federal efficiency standards. Shelby Cooley, the Water Conservation Program Manager, stated the program has been a tremendous success. Cooley noted that because many homes have already replaced older fixtures, resources will now be focused where they can have the greatest impact.
As the program concludes, funding will shift toward outdoor water conservation programs. Officials noted that outdoor irrigation accounts for the largest share of residential water use in Utah, and improving landscape efficiency offers significant opportunities for long-term water savings.
Homeowners with older, high-water-use toilets may qualify for a rebate before the program ends. Eligible applicants must own a home built before 1994, replace an existing toilet with an EPA WaterSense labeled model, and submit an application within 30 days of purchase. Applications must include a photo of the old toilet, proof of purchase, and a photo of the new installation.
Rebates are available for up to two toilets per home. Applications must be received by October 31, 2026, as the program will close to new applications on November 1, 2026. No exceptions will be granted.
