If you think you're ready for one of those fancy new low-flush toilets the province is ready to help you out.
It's putting up a little cash to improve your water consumption. Good news for those who're thinking about a new biffy.
Sandra Cerqueira calls her bathroom her sanctuary, but says her lilac porcelain throne isn't cutting it anymore.
"This was a 1970's toilet and I guess lilac was really popular at that time but for this year we definitely need to change it," insists Cerqueira.
Old toilets are not usually efficient, sometimes using many litres of water to flush.
For that reason, Cerqueira plans to put in a dual flush toilet.
"We did see them in Europe and we were really quite impressed by them so now that we're redoing our bathroom, I mean that was really the only toilet we even considered because one it saves money and two it saves water," said Cerqueira.
"There's a three litre flush which you're using for your liquids and there's a six litre flush which you're using for your solids," explains Kirsten Proteau from Kitchen and Bath Classics.
For those still confused, number one for number one, number two for number two.
That toilet will cost less thanks to a pilot project from the Manitoba government called Watersmart.
Under the program, anyone buying a high efficiency toilet can qualify for a $50 rebate.
There are two ways to get the discount. First you can get it after getting a Manitoba Hydro Powersmart audit on your home.
The audit costs $180.
Second, for one weekend in January, people will be able to get the rebate right at the till at certain retailers.
1500 dual flush toilets will be available across Manitoba.
"We expect to save about 80 million litres of water," said Dwight Williamson with Manitoba's Water Stewardship branch.
That's 80 million litres a year.
Williamson says it could save Manitobans $2 million a year in water bills, assuming 3000 people take advantage of the program.
The federal government is also offering a $50 rebate on efficient toilets.
"I think that's huge because when you think about it a dual flush toilet can be a fairly costly item," said Proteau.
Most toilet manufacturers offer dual flush toilets, but Kirsten Proteau says you have to be careful which one you buy. Proteau says you get what you pay for and some cheaper models don't work that well.
"You're going to have to flush it again to clear the bowl or it's going to plug," adds Proteau of some of the lesser brands.
She says that means you won't save water or money.
Proteau recommends spending at least $350 to get a good quality efficient toilet, and she says it's worth it in the end, pun intended.
The math is simple because right now most people in their homes are flushing at least 13 litres or more every time. Half or quarter that, and your savings match up.
Sandra Cerqueira gets it. "Think about it with every time you push the button you're saving money and the environment, I mean how simple can it be," said Cerqueira.
