Water Efficiency Technology (W.E.T) Program Multi-Residential Funding Application

Please complete this application for projects in multi-residential buildings with 3 stories or more, and wish to determine your eligibility for funding or cost-sharing with the Region of Waterloo.  Money is available for property managers who upgrade all of their building’s showerheads, toilets and tap aerators. 

This program is best suited for medium to high rise apartment buildings interested in long-term savings. 

The Region will review water billing data prior to the launch of the project and compare it to the water billing data for the year following project completion to determine the volume of water saved by the project.

  • Funding is based on project's invoiced costs, water savings achieved and the time for the project to pay for itself
  • Funding available is $0.40 per litre saved per day or less if the upgrades pay for themselves in under two years
  • Project managers often receive a rebate of 5 to 13 per cent of the project cost with water savings often providing long-term financial benefits.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this application and for your interest in water efficiency. Once the Region of Waterloo's Water and Wastewater Services team has reviewed your application and registered your building(s) into the program, the next steps for receiving your funding will be as follows:

  1. As the property manager, you are responsible for the replacement of all toilets, showerheads and tap aerators in their building(s). Consultants or plumbers are often hired to install fixtures.
  2. Once the project is complete, the Region’s Water and Wastewater Services team will review water billing data from the year before and the year after the project to determine water savings achieved. Please note: water billing data is made available to the Region the following year.
  3. With water savings calculated, we then look at invoiced costs and calculate a return on investment of a minimum of two years to determine how much funding you will receive.
  4. The Region’s Water and Wastewater Services team will draft a proposal for your project. During this process they will request banking information and a completed application form as part of the submission package.
  5. The Region’s Water and Wastewater Services team will then apply for approval of funding to the Region’s finance department.

Thank you for your interested in water conservation! Together we are making a difference!
