Living Victoria Water Rebate Program
The new Living Victoria Water Rebate Program gives Victorian households the opportunity to save water and money when buying water efficient products such as rainwater tanks, dual-flush toilets, washing machines, pool covers, garden products, permanent greywater systems and many more products.
The Rebate Program will now extend the existing water efficient rebates to all Victorian households. And there are 2 new products included in the program - washing machines with a 5 star water and 4 star energy rating and pool covers with a roller for the cover.
The rebates are for products purchased and installed between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2013.
Rebates are also available for businesses with 20 or less employees connected to a reticulated water supply that improves the water efficiency of their business. Small businesses are eligible for a rebate of up to $2000 for the purchase and installation of rainwater tanks, dual flush toilets, waterless or low flow urinals, washing machines, dishwashers, glass washers, waterless wok stoves plus many other water efficient products.
Licensed plumbers must install all rainwater tanks, greywater systems, hot water recirculators, dual-flush toilets, tank to the toilet connections and other products as required by regulation. Where required, a Plumbing Industry Commission (PIC) certificate of compliance must be supplied.
