Applications are now open for Lethbridge residents to receive rebates for purchasing rain barrels and switching to low-flow toilets at residential properties.
The Environmental Incentive Program covers 50% of the cost of barrels and toilets for up to $100 for each item to anyone with a residential water utility account. Last year, the program approved 360 rain barrels and 140 low-flow toilets for rebates, which for reference can conserve an approximate 2 million litres of water.
The program begins today and runs through December 31st or until funding runs out. Residents can apply for up to two rebates per item, and applications can be filled out on the City of Lethbridge website.
All applications are subject to approval and require specific supporting documents.
