The mayor’s office asked to spread the word that free toilets — with free installation — are still available for income-eligible owner-occupied households through the City of Seattle’s Water Conservation Program. The program was launched in March 2010, with this press release:

According to Seattle Public Utilities, replacement of older toilets with high efficiency models can save a family of four up to 24,000 gallons of water and $140 each year.

“For some homeowners, the cost of replacing old toilets is prohibitive,” says Irene Stewart, director of the Seattle Mayor’s Office for Senior Citizens. “That’s why we’re collaborating with Seattle Public Utilities and Senior Services’ Minor Home Repair to provide low-income homeowners with free toilets. Toilets offered by Seattle Public Utilities flush well, help conserve water, and save homeowners money.”

If you meet the following criteria and income guidelines, you can qualify for free toilets and installation by a licensed professional plumber:

  • You are a homeowner of any age with a Seattle Public Utilities account.
  • You currently live in the home you own.
  • Your existing toilets were manufactured before 1994.
  • You meet income guidelines for your household size (examples below).
Household Size Annual Income Monthly Income
1 $ 28,560 $ 2,380
2 $ 37,344 $ 3,112
3 $ 46,140 $ 3,845
4 $ 54,924 $ 4,577
5 $ 63,708 $ 5,309
6 $ 72,492 $ 6,041
