For landlords to charge tenants for water use, they need a water efficiency compliance certificate. To get a certificate, a licensed plumber will need to ensure that all outlets meet the requirements. We regularly do tests to ensure your property is currently compliant. Any needed upgrades will be completed on-site and a water efficiency certificate can be issued.
Generally, each property must be individually metered. Internal cold water taps and mixers (excluding bathtub taps and taps for appliances) must have a maximum flow of 9L per minute. Toilets must have 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 one full flush and four half flushes).
