What Is A Water Efficiency Certificate QLD?

A Water Efficiency Compliance Certificate is issued after a licensed plumber conducts an audit to ensure the property meets the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) water efficiency standards. To charge a tenant for water usage in QLD, the property must hold an official Water Efficiency Certificate from an accredited plumber.

Our Sunshine Coast Plumbers can provide you with an audit and QLD Water Efficient Certificate from just $121.

Water Efficiency Certificate Audit Items

Our comprehensive Water Efficiency Certificate service includes a detailed audit of all key items specified in the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Regulation 2009, as well as identifying any additional relevant issues that may arise. We ensure that:

  • Internal cold water taps and single mixer taps (excluding bathtub taps and taps for appliances) have a maximum flow rate of 9 litres/minute.

  • Shower heads have a maximum flow rate of litres/minute.

  • Dishwashers and washing machines have an efficiency of 3 stars or more

  • Toilets with a dual flush function must not exceed 6.5 litres for a full flush and 3.5 litres for a half flush.

  • Toilets have a maximum average flush volume of 4 litres, based on the average of one full flush and four half flushes.

  • Pools and spas have covers to prevent evaporation

  • Hot water valves are in date and are not leaking more than normal

  • Identify leaks and hot water valves are within service dates

Our experienced team guarantees that all aspects of your plumbing system are thoroughly checked and compliant, giving you the confidence that your property is water-efficient and meets all regulatory requirements.

If your property doesn’t meet the requirements, Refined Plumbing can help!

If your property is found non-compliant after the assessment, our team will provide a quote on the spot and can begin work immediately. We follow standard practices to eliminate leaks and ensure your hot water valves are within their service dates, preventing any disputes with tenants. What we can do to ensure your property is compliant includes:

  • Install flow restrictor fittings or upgrade fixtures and appliances.
  • Repair any leaks or faulty valves.
  • Replace non-compliant showerheads, taps, or toilets.
  • Provide advice on how to reduce water consumption costs
