Large household rebate

Because water is such a vital resource, we want to ensure that all our customers have access to water and sewerage services.

From 1 January 2006 Sydney Water will provide assistance to large households. We will be offering a maximum rebate of $10 per quarter, per household, for water consumption above 100kl per quarter (or 1.096kl per day multiplied by the number of days between meter readings).

To qualify for the Large Household Rebate you must:

  1. Be the owner or joint owner and live in a house or strata unit that is individually metered.
  2. Be the holder of a Health Care Card, issued by CentreLink.
  3. Reside in a household that consists of six or more permanent occupants.
  4. Have fitted water efficient devices.
