What Is a Water Efficiency Certificate?
A water efficiency certificate is an official document that confirms your property meets the minimum water efficiency standards required by Queensland law. This includes:
- Internal cold water taps (excluding bath taps) delivering no more than 9 litres per minute
- Shower heads delivering no more than 9 litres per minute
- Toilets being dual flush and not exceeding 6.5 litres (full flush) and 3.5 litres (half flush)
Our licensed plumbers inspect, test and document your fixtures, and if required, recommend upgrades to bring them into compliance.
