Water Efficiency Certificates

Want to pass the full cost of water consumption onto your tenant?

​

You can, provided all the minimum criteria has been met below.

​

• the rental premises are individually metered

• the rental premises are water efficient

• the tenancy agreement states the tenant must pay for water consumption

​

A rental premise is considered water efficient if certain water fixtures meet the standards listed as below:

​

• Internal cold water taps and single mixer taps (excluding bathtub taps and taps for appliances) are to have a maximum flow rate of 9 litres per minute

• Showerheads are to have a maximum flow rate of 9 litres per minute

• Toilets are to be a dual flush function not exceeding 6.5 litres on full flush and 3.5 litres on half flush and a maximum average flush volume of 4 litres (based on the average of 1 full flush and 4 half flushes)
