What is a Water Efficiency Certificate?

In Queensland, obtaining a Water Efficiency Certificate is crucial for landlords who intend to pass on water consumption costs to their tenants. This legal requirement ensures that rental properties meet specific water efficiency standards, contributing to overall water conservation efforts. A Water Efficiency Certificate can only be issued by a licensed plumber certifying that a rental property complies with Queensland’s water efficiency regulations.

Benefits of a Water Efficiency Certificate

• Legal compliance: Ensures adherence to Queensland rental laws.  
• Cost recovery: Allows landlords to pass on water consumption charges to tenants.
• Water conservation: Promotes responsible water usage and contributes to environmental sustainability.
• Increased property value: A water-efficient property can be more attractive to potential tenants.

The Certification Process

Obtaining a Water Efficiency Certificate involves a thorough assessment of your property’s plumbing fixtures. Our licensed plumbers will inspect your property and issue a certificate if it meets the required standards. If upgrades are necessary, we can recommend and install water-efficient fixtures to bring your property into compliance.

Landlords can pass on full water consumption charges, including bulk water delivery, if the following criteria are met:

• The rental property is individually metered
