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.
