Valid Invalid date - Invalid date

In Queensland, tenants can be made responsible for water consumption at the property they’re renting. There are a number of guidelines around this however, such as: 1. The property must be individually metered 2. The rental property must be “water efficient” 3. The tenancy agreement must state that the tenant needs to pay for water consumption For the property to be deemed “water efficient” the lessor/agent must be able to demonstrate the presence of water efficient devices, such as providing a copy of a WELS certificate - only able to be issued by a licensed plumber (like Newk's Plumbing).

Your property has low water pressure. What should you do? Firstly, check if all your taps and outlets have a similar problem. If only one or two taps have low pressure, the aerators may be blocked and need a clean. If all taps (including external taps) have low water pressure then there could be a problem with the meter, the water service from the meter to the house, or the pipe work external of the property and it is best to call a qualified plumber. Low water pressure from your pipes is commonly caused by old, corroded, gal pipes, an obstruction in the line or an undetected water leak.

If you have an unusually high water bill on your rates, you may have a water leak. Before calling a plumber, check all of your taps for leaks and make sure no toilets are running through. Turn off the main tap on the street side of your water meter and record the meter reading. Make sure no one at your property uses water for an hour and check if the water meter has changed. If the reading is different, call a plumber as you may have an undetected leak. Property owners who have had an undetected water leak can apply for a once-off allowance of up to 50% of excess water use charges
