WaterSense-labeled toilets are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to use at least 20% less water than standard toilets while still providing reliable, high-performance flushing.
For residential use, WaterSense toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, helping households significantly reduce indoor water use and lower utility bills.
For commercial and public facilities, WaterSense flushometer-valve toilets are designed to withstand frequent use while delivering substantial water savings for businesses, schools, and government buildings.
By choosing WaterSense toilets, residents and businesses can conserve water, reduce strain on local infrastructure, and support Roswell’s sustainability goals.
Important: The Roswell and Fulton County Toilet Rebate Programs have ended.
The City of Roswell and Fulton County previously offered rebates for residential and commercial customers who replaced older toilets with high-efficiency units. This program has now concluded and is no longer accepting new applications.
While other regional rebate programs are no longer active, replacing an inefficient toilet can still lead to long-term savings. Using less water reduces monthly water bills and helps conserve valuable water resources.
Reducing water usage whenever possible benefits both your household budget and the environment. To learn more about how much water you can save by installing a WaterSense-approved, efficient, and cost-effective toilet, visit WaterSense – Residential Toilets.

Myrtle/Zion Paver System
In 2016, the City of Roswell installed a semi-permeable paver system at the intersection of Myrtle Street and Zion Circle. The water quality improvement project was funded through a 319H grant provided by the Environmental Protection Division. The Myrtle/Zion (MZ) paver system receives runoff from a 3-acre drainage area and helps filter runoff before the water enters Roswell’s watershed.
East Alley Paver System
The East Alley permeable paver system was completed in 2018, as part of the East-West Alley Master Plan. The 4,226 square feet of permeable pavers installed in downtown Roswell provide approximately 3,071 cubic feet of water quality treatment and 2,360 cubic feet of detention storage to the downtown Roswell area.
Ultra-high-efficiency plumbing fixtures are standard in all City of Roswell facilities. These fixtures use less water and save money, without sacrificing performance. Examples of ultra-high-efficiency plumbing fixtures include low-flow faucets and showerheads. Look for the WaterSense labels when purchasing plumbing fixtures to ensure your fixture is conserving water. Please visit www.epa.gov/watersense to learn more about ultra-high-efficiency plumbing fixtures for your home or business.
Water Reuse Systems
A water reuse system involves recycling or reusing rainwater or wastewater for beneficial use. The City of Roswell has three water reuse systems in place at City facilities:
Smith Plantation Rain Barrell
The rain barrel collects rain water that can then be used on various plants at the site
Bulloch Hall Cistern
The two cisterns capture rainwater from the roof at Bulloch Hall, which can then be used for gardening purposes
Roswell Areas Park Wash Station
Rec & Parks staff use a reusable water system to recycle water to clean park equipment
Reusable water systems are a great way to conserve water and save money on your water bill. To purchase a rain barrel and support local non-profit Keep Roswell Beautiful, please visit the Keep Roswell Beautiful Rain Barrel webpage.
