Property managers and owners in Brisbane are allowed to pass on the full cost of water consumption to a tenant, provided: * The rental property is individually metered (or water is delivered by a vehicle; and * The rental property is water efficient; and * the tenancy agreement states the tenant must pay for water consumption. Rental properties are considered water efficient if water dispensing fixtures meet certain standards. Real estate agents may request ‘Water efficiency certificates’ to show proof that a rental property is water efficient. Here are the fixtures which must be water efficient and the required flow rate.

* Kitchen taps: 7.5 - 9 LPM (litres per minute)

* Basin taps: 7.5 - 9 LPM

* Showers: 7.5 - 9 LPM

* Laundry taps: 7.5 - 9 LPM

* Toilets: 3L half flush and 6L full flush.

Bath tubs are exempt as flow rate will not affect their water efficiency. If you require a Water efficiency certificate for a property in Brisbane, contact Sonic Plumbing and book your plumber today.
