Washing machine rebates
Washing machines are typically the third highest user of water in the home. As part of the NSW Government's Climate Change Fund, Sydney Water offers customers a $150 rebate for buying a new washing machine with at least a 4½ star water efficiency rating.
To qualify for a $150 rebate you must:
- buy a new washing machine with at least a 4½ star water efficiency rating and pay for it in full between 1 August 2008 and 30 June 2010
- have an approved connection to a Sydney Water main at the property where the machine is installed
- buy the machine for domestic use.
You can pick up a rebate application form from your local white goods store or download an application (PDF - 488KB) . Washing machines that have 4½ star water efficiency are clearly labelled in stores. The rebate does not apply to energy ratings.
If you bought a 4 star washing machine between 1 March 2006 and 31 July 2008 you are eligible for a rebate. Sydney Water must receive your application form and original receipt by 31 December 2008.
