Are you paying too much for your water?

You may be eligible for a rebate on your City water bill


Many Toronto businesses are paying too much for their City water. Businesses that typically are eligible for a rebate include cold storage warehouses, plastics manufacturers, food processing plants and ready mix plants.

The City of Toronto has a Sewer Surcharge Rebate Program. Under this program, businesses which divert more than 15% (generally) of their incoming water away from the sanitary sewer are eligible for a rebate on their water bill. This is often the case for businesses which use water in their product or which divert water by evaporation via a cooling tower or evaporative condenser.

Water bill rebates can be tens of thousands of dollars per year and no physical changes to the facility are required-you simply need to apply for it. To apply for the rebate, a business needs to submit a report which summarizes their water usage and includes an estimate of the percentage of the incoming water diverted from the sanitary sewer. The report needs to be signed by an independent professional engineer. That’s where we can help.

BMP3 Cognizant Associates Inc. (BMP3) provides several environmental engineering services including preparing Sewer Surcharge Rebate applications for eligible Toronto businesses. You are not billed until after the City confirms that you have been granted a rebate. Why let money go down the drain every month? Give us a call and plug a financial drain!
