HIGH-EFFICIENCY TOILETS $100 REBATE The City of Yuba City is offering a rebate of up to $100.00 when you upgrade your old toilet using 3.5 gallons per flush (gpf) or higher to a new, high-efficiency model.

One of the easiest ways to lower your toilet s water use by approximately 62% is to install a high-efficiency toilet (HET), which uses on average 1.3 gpf or less. Although HETs use less water, they remove waste effectively and perform well.
