Small changes to your water use and the water fittings in your home can save thousands of litres of water each year and significantly reduce your water and energy bills. You may be eligible for one of our subsidised programs to help you to achieve those savings.
The WaterTight program is designed to help reduce your household water use. Western Water’s licensed and experienced WaterTight plumber will visit your home to assess your water use and provide water saving products and services valued at $180.
Western Water contributes $100 towards the cost of each WaterTight visit. A Water Conservation Audit Rebate provides another $50 so the net cost to you is only $30.
Where appropriate to your property, a WaterTight visit includes:
- Leak identification and minor leak repair
- Advice on rainwater tanks, grey water systems and other water efficient appliances
- Comprehensive assessment of your water use
Your WaterTight visit also includes up to $50 worth of water saving retrofitting, which may include:
- Water efficient showerhead/s supplied and installed
- Washers replaced in taps
- Tap reconditioning
- Repairs to toilet cisterns, where feasible.
Save even more water and money by improving the efficiency of your toilet/s. You may be eligible for a Dual-Flush Toilet Rebate of $100.
Western Water recommends that you combine the Toilet Upgrade Program with a WaterTight plumber’s visit to maximise your water and money savings.
Our licensed and experienced plumber will assess your situation and provide you with options, which may include:
- Valve replacement - can be included in a WaterTight visit.
- Cistern replacement (from $205 fully installed).
- Full toilet replacement (from $284 fully installed).
For replacement options, a four-star dual flush cistern will be installed and the Water Smart Gardens and Homes Rebate of $100 is available. The rebate is limited to one per property.
