Toilet Rebate Program

The R.M. of Edenwold No. 158 is partnering with the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority in offering a matching $50 rebate to ratepayers that replace a high volume toilet with a dual flush or low-volume model.  This initiative is being undertaken in an effort to encourage water conservation and reduce demand on water and wastewater systems both on central utility systems and on acreages and farms.  More information on this program and other environmentally conscience ideas can be obtained on www.goGreenSask.ca

All requirements of the Provincial Toilet Rebate Program must be met to qualify for the munipal rebate and you must receive your rebate from the Province before you can apply for the municipal rebate.

How do you participate?

  1. Replace your high-volume toilet with a low-volume model, complete the Application Form found on the Saskatchewan Watershed Authority website and submit it to:
    Saskatchewan Watershed Authority
    Provincial Toilet Replacement Program
    111 Fairford Street East
    Moose Jaw, SK    S6H 7X9

  2. Once you have received your $50 Provincial Rebate cheque submit a copy of the cheque stub and application form to the Administration Office.  Your rebate will be processed within approximately 3 weeks.

Weed Control (leafy spurge)

Proper cultivation of land shall be encouraged throughout the municipality to control the spread of noxious weeds. If noxious weeds are spreading due to the neglect of any land, Council may take action against the landowner under the provisions of the Noxious Weeds Act.

The municipality may undertake a program to spray the road allowances for leafy spurge infestation, however, the work must be contracted to a licensed applicator.

In 2005 Council introduced a program whereby individual landowners will be reimbursed for one-half the cost of Tordon 22K which is purchased and applied during the current year. Application forms are available at the Administration Office.

Tree Planter

The municipality has a tree planter for use by ratepayers, and it is booked on a first-come first-served basis through the administration office. A damage deposit of $75 is collected at the time of booking and refunded upon return of the planter. A user fee of $25 per day is payable at the time of pickup.
