DeKalb reminds water saving products tax free this weekend

DeKalb County, which touts itself as the greenest urban county in the nation, is reminding residents that some conservation products are tax-exempt this weekend.

WaterSense-labeled toilets, showerheads, faucets and other products use at least 20 percent less water than conventional models. Products of up to $1,500 carrying the label are exempt from state and local sales taxes in Georgia between Friday and Sunday.

A list of labeled projects is online at www.epa.gov/watersense.
