The eligible products include mulch, compost/mulch bins, trigger nozzles, drip watering systems, garden tap timers, temporary greywater diverters, wetting/moisture agents, shower timers, flow interrupters for toilets and waterless car cleaning products.
Normally households had to spend $100 on water saving products to claim the $30 rebate. Customers who have previously claimed this rebate can also claim the new rebate.
More than 210,000 Victorians have claimed a rebate under the Brumby Government’s rebate scheme for water saving products such as rainwater tanks and greywater systems.
The Water Smart Gardens and Homes Rebate Scheme includes:
Up to $1000 for installing a large rainwater tank;
$500 for an approved greywater system; and
$150 for a hot water recirculator.
Households can also exchange their old showerhead for a three-star water efficient model for free with their local water authority.
To claim a rebate, including the special autumn rebate offer, customers should complete and submit a claim form from their local water authority with original receipts. Rebates are deducted from customers’ water bills.
