There is still time to get in on the City of Raleigh's WaterSense Toilet Replacement Rebate Program. 

The purpose of this program is to provide incentives to purchase high efficiency toiets (HETs) to help cut down on the amount of water used with every flush.  The program provides rebates up to $100 for each toilet purchased. If you purchase a toilet for $90 then you will get a check for $90.  The program runs through April 9, 2010 so hurry!

UPDATE: As of March 24th, 2010 there was still $350k in the fund and it will go until the funds run out. So although it would probably be a good idea to get your applications in before April 9th they expect it to run for a couple more months beyond April 9th.

UPDATE: As of August 25, 2010 the program still has funds.
