What Is a Water Efficiency Certificate?
A water efficiency certificate confirms that a residential rental property meets Queensland’s minimum water efficiency standards. Once certified, landlords can lawfully charge tenants for water consumption.
The key requirements for certification include:
- Internal cold water taps (excluding bath taps) must not exceed a flow rate of 9 litres per minute
- Showerheads must also have a maximum flow rate of 9 litres per minute
- Toilets must be dual flush with maximum 6.5L for a full flush and 3.5L for a half flush, and an average flush volume no greater than 4L
JT’s Plumbing and Gas Fitting carries out inspections, flow testing and fixture checks to ensure your property qualifies.
