If you were on the fence about replacing an old or leaky toilet in your home, there is some added incentive this weekend!
Home Depot is having their annual Go Low Flow sale on high-efficiency toilets (dual-flush or 4.8 models). If you live in Charlottetown or have a business or rental property in the City, you are eligible to receive a rebate of $75 on these toilets when replacing up to 2 older models that use over 6L/flush.

Visit the city website for more information on the low flow Toilet Rebate Program.
