Looking to save water and money? Brooklyn Park has just rolled out a new rebate program aimed at helping residents do just that. Starting now, folks who are within 80% of the median income for the metro region can get up to a cool $400 back for installing a WaterSense-certified toilet.
This comes as a part of a green initiative funded by a grant from the Met Council with monies from the Minnesota Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. Qualifying applicants must ensure they’re purchasing toilets after August 1, 2025, but hurry—the program is only sticking around until June 30, 2026. Income limits range from $72,950 for a single-person household to $137,550 for those with eight souls under one roof. Rebates will be offered for up to two toilets per home.
If you're keen on getting reimbursed, here's the drill: buy a WaterSense labeled toilet, keep the receipt, then head over to the Brooklyn Park official website for an application form. Complete it, include all necessary documents, and either email it or send it via snail mail to the address provided. You can also snag a physical copy of the form at City Hall if that's more your speed.
Eligible participants include any Brooklyn Park resident who owns a single-family home, a townhome, or a duplex. This program is also open for owners who rent their properties. According to the City of Brooklyn's official announcement, "Any Brooklyn Park resident who owns a single-family home, townhome, or duplex can apply! Even owners who rent their homes can take part." So if you're paying for the water bill, you're in the game.
This could be a real boon for thrifty homeowners and renters alike. Not to mention, it's a step forward for the environment by cutting down on water waste. If you think you might be eligible, don't let the toilet rebate get flushed away without checking it out.
