Water Fixture Subsidy Program
(income qualified)
The City of Brandon is offering a Water Fixture Subsidy Program to help income-qualifying residents upgrade to more water-efficient homes! Qualified applicants can receive up to $350 to purchase and install a new low flow toilet (6L or less), helping to conserve water and reduce utility costs.
You may qualify for the subsidy if your total household income (before deductions) falls at or below the following limits:
| Number of people | Total Income |
|---|---|
| 1 person | $45,333 |
| 2 people | $56,437 |
| 3 people | $69,384 |
| 4 people | $84,239 |
| 5 people | $95,543 |
| 6 people | $107,757 |
| 7 or more people | $119,972 |
We require a copy of your notice of assessment for the most recent tax year. All occupants are included (adults and children) as people in your household to decide your income limit.
- Ensure that you are eligible, based on the the combined incomes of people that live at your residence, using your most recent notice of assessments.
- Ensure that the applicant's name is on the water bill.
- Ensure that your current toilet is not already a low flow toilet (less than 6L).
- Apply for the program here and provide all required information.
- Submit your most recent notice of assessment from the Canadian Revenue Agency.
- Take a “before” photograph of your toilet and keep it to submit it online.
Important Information: If the cost of the toilet/s and installation exceeds $350, you will pay for the remaining portion. If the cost of your toilet and installation is less than $350, you will receive the exact combined cost of the toilet purchase and service invoice.
