Fort Worth - Free New Toilet(s) for 1994 and older home or business

Not a lot of people pay any attention to the flyers in the Water Bill but I found this offer in mine and figured some of you might need or know someone who could use a new one.

I got two of them from the city a couple of years ago. They were completely free - they even came with the bolts and the seal. All I had to go pick them up at the plumbing supply (an put them in). They work great, and I save about $5.00 a month on my water bill.

sounds great but I prefer old toilets... this "green" movement sucks. I want flushing power. I heard on the radio the other day they are pushing for 1.2gal toilets

low flow FTL

I wondered about the low flush - in fact I saved the old toilets in the shed for a while just in case. But I've have no problems to date vs constant problems with the old "high flow" ones.

I actually think the newer toilets work better for flushing power. My house was built in '86 and the back bathroom has the original toilet and it sometimes takes 2 flushes for solid waste. The front bathroom, I replaced the toilet about 5 years ago and that sucker never needs more than one flush.

I wonder if Arlington offers this? I need to replace that back toilet eventually. Toilets are pretty cheap anyway but nothing beats free

**EDIT** Arlington does offer it also but they already reached their max for this go around. You can sign up if you want to be notified next time though. http://www.arlingtontx.gov/water/toilets.html

**EDIT 2** Arlington sucks, fine print says - A plumbing permit is required to replace the older toilet. The permit is covered under the program and must be obtained prior to replacing the toilet. Final details will be provided with the toilet pick-up.

Thanks I will sign up for my rental house. I already replaced one but the other needs to go.
