What if I have other questions not covered by this FAQ? How many rebates are left? The program is ongoing and we are accepting rebate applications from residents on both private wells and on the municipal water system. The Township of Langley reserves the right to withdraw the rebate offer at any time. How do I figure out the flushing volume of the toilet that I'm replacing? First look for a stamp on your toilet that lists the flushing volume. It may be on the inside or rear of the tank, on the tank label, on the top of the tank, or on the flush valve.   If you can't find a stamp you will have to measure to tank to calculate its volume. This is very easy to do by following three simple steps: 1.    Using a ruler or measuring tape: Record the length, width, and depth of water in the tank. Record measurements in centimetres! 2.    Use a calculator to multiply the length (cm) by the width (cm) by the depth (cm) and record this number. 3.    Divide the number from Step 2 by 1000 and record the result. The result is the flushing volume of your toilet measure in litres per flush. For example: Step 1: Using a ruler or tape measure you record; a length of 40cm, width of 30cm, and depth of water 20cm for your old toilet tank. Step 2: 40 times 30 times 20 = 24,000 Step 3: 24,000 divided by 1000 = 24 litres per flush. If you have problems calculating the volume, contact the Environmental Coordinator at 604-533-6082 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

What do I do with my old toilet? Old toilets are brought to the Township of Langley Operations Centre for recycling at the same time you submit your application form and original receipt. All metals, plastics, and toilet seats must be removed, prior to drop-off. The ceramic from the old toilets is crushed and reused as fill material or road base. The Operations Centre is located in Murrayville at 4700 - 224 Street. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 4:30pm. Weekend drop offs are not available. Do low-flow toilets really work? Does anyone test these toilets for performance? Yes! The Township's Toilet Rebate Program has been in place since 2006 and feedback we have received regarding performance has been overwhelmingly positive.   Low flow toilets are designed to perform as reliably as any large volume toilet, but with less than half the water. North American wide independent testing and rating (highest rating attainable is 1000 and is based on flow rate and waste removal efficiency) is conducted on an annual basis. A maximum performance (MaP) rating of 250 is widely cited as a minimum performance threshold for meeting customer expectation. Toilets with higher MaP scores have better performance. The complete version of the Maximum Performance Testing of Popular Toilet Models, 15th Edition includes testing methodologies. For more information please visit the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association website.   "Mine works beautifully - they perform better than the old toilets and save water." --Sylvia Wells, Toilet Rebate recipient   "We are thrilled with our low flow toilets. They're wonderful. I don't know why we didn't do this before." --Joanne Milner, Toilet Rebate recipient What does "MaP rating" mean (Maximum Performance Rating)?

Can I just replace part of my toilet and still be eligible for the rebate? No - rebates are only available if the entire toilet is replaced. Am I still eligible if a plumber supplied and installed the new toilet(s)? Yes - as long as you submit an official contractor's receipt.
