Water Capacity Buy Back Program
The City of Toronto’s Capacity Buy Back Program encourages and rewards industrial, commercial and institutional organizations that reduce water use by:
offering industrial customers consuming up to 15,000 m3/yr, commercial, and institutional customers a free water audit to help identify ways to reduce water use;
rewarding industrial customers consuming up to 5,000 m3/yr, and commercial and institutional customers that implement permanent water savings measures with a one-time cash rebate up to 30 cents per litre of water saved per average day;
helping participants save money over the long-term with reduced water bills.
This program allows the City to buy back water capacity that has been freed up by participants who have reduced water use in their operations.
