Water Smart Gardens and Homes Rebate Scheme ...
Be rewarded for buying and installing water smart products in your home.
The Water Smart Gardens and Homes Rebate Scheme has been extended for four more years from 1 July 2007, with some exciting new products.
New products included in the rebate scheme …
- Hot water re-circulating devices that help save cold water which initially comes out of the hot water taps when first turned on. These devices redirect the cold water in the hot water pipes back into the household water supply until hot. This ensures that water is not wasted.
- The rebate for water efficient showerheads has been split into two rebates …
- Existing rebate of $10 for showerheads costing between $30 and $100
- A new rebate of $20 for showerheads costing over $100. In addition, households can now claim two showerhead rebates per eligible property.
Four new products have been added to the basket of goods ($30 rebate when the purchase of one or more products with a COMBINED VALUE of $100 or more is made).
These include:
- rainwater diverters
- waterless car cleaning products
- shower timers
- toilet flush interrupter devices
Since January 2003 there has been an overwhelming response to take part and help save water … over 162,000 rebates have been approved which has helped Victorians to save more than 1.4 billion litres of drinking water a year.
From 1 January 2007, Victorians on a reticulated water supply have been
eligible for rebates of up to $1000 on the purchase and installation of a large rainwater tank connected to their toilet and/or laundry and installed by a licensed plumber.
If you bought and installed an eligible product before 30 June 2007 you had until 30 September 2007 to claim a rebate under the existing terms and conditions.
