The Toilet Replacement Program is the measure with the greatest water savings in the City of
Toronto's Water Efficiency Program (WEP) and is expected to achieve a reduction of over 100
million liters of water per day by 2011.
The Toilet Replacement Program is designed to encourage those replacing existing toilets in all
property sectors to choose to install City approved ultra-low-flush models by offering a cash
incentive. It is estimated that toilet use represents about 60% of the total volume of water used in a
typical multi-unit residence, which is about 272 liters per day, for multi-unit residential.
Toilet replacement programs have been developed for the Single Family, Multi-unit (private and
public housing) and the Industrial, Commercial, Institutional (ICI) sectors. Over 185,000 City-selected
toilets have been installed to date resulting in total annual water savings of approximately
44 million liters/day (ML/d).
An ongoing monitoring program was established to measure the actual savings achieved. After
installing about one third of the toilets for this sector, almost 50% of the total Multi-unit Toilet
Replacement Program target for 2011 was achieved as of the end of 2004. An example of savings
is presented through various case studies of a variety of buildings.
