Toilet Replacement Program

In 2012, the Town of Vermilion launched a toilet replacement program, which gives residents an opportunity to receive a rebate ranging from $50 - $100 per toilet when replacing an old high volume toilet with a new water saving toilet.

Water Conservation Tips

The Town of Vermilion encourages all residents to conserve water. Here are a just a few examples on how you can reduce water usage in your home:

  • A faulty tap can leak up to a litre of water per day. Repair leaky faucets and always turn your tap off tightly so it does not drip. Even leaving your tap on a slow drip for indoor animals can increase your water bill considerably. 
  • If your shower can fill a 4-litre bucket in less than 20 seconds, you may want to consider a water-efficient showerhead.
  • When you clean your fish tank, you can reuse the water on your houseplants. The water is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, providing you with a free and effective fertilizer.
  • If you accidentally drop an ice cube on the floor, use it in a houseplant instead of throwing it in the sink.
  • Use a screwdriver to test the moisture level of your lawn. If there is no resistance, then you do not need to water. You can also tell just by walking across the lawn, if you leave footprints, it is time to water.
  • Use a layer of organic mulch around trees and shrubs to reduce evaporation. You can also minimize evaporation by watering in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler and winds are lighter.
  • A garden hose uses 1,100 litres of water per hour. Direct downspouts towards shrubs and trees to reduce the watering requirements of larger foliage.
  • Taller grass retains more water. Keep grass 6 cm long to reduce watering requirements.
  • Place a plastic bottle filled with sand or water in the toilet tank to reduce the amount of water used for each flush. Ensure it does not interfere with the operating mechanisms and that there is a minimum of 3 litres of water in the tank.
  • If you accidentally drop ice cubes when filling your glass from the freezer, don't throw them in the sink. Drop them in a houseplant instead.
