Obviously flush with cash, the Manitoba government is offering a $50 rebate to anyone in the province who buys a high-efficiency toilet on Feb. 21.
The government is limiting the one-day offer to two toilets per customer.
Manitobans use less water, at 219 litres per day, than most Canadians, at 329 litres per day, but that doesn't mean residents should be resting on their backsides, the government says.
The rebate is part of an effort to conserve 80 million litres of water annually and save Manitobans $2-million on their collective annual water bill.
"We have worked with retailers to join in this new effort and are pleased with their widespread support to help preserve more clean water for future generations," Water Stewardship Minister Christine Melnick said.

Melnick said on Feb. 21 the public can go to participating retail outlets throughout the province and receive an instant $50 rebate on the purchase of a high-efficiency, dual-flush toilet.
A matching $50 rebate is also available under the federal government's EcoEnergy program when purchasing an eligible high-efficiency, dual-flush toilet.
