Rainwater Tanks

If you’re yet to install a rainwater tank on your property, you’re costing yourself hundreds of dollars a year.

What’s more, both the Australian and NSW Governments are offering significant cash rebates on rainwater tank installation until June 30, 2011.

ARCS Plumbing Solutions specialises in design, supply, installation, service, maintenance and connection of Tankworks Australia Colorbond tanks, Rotadyne tanks and Enviro Poly Rainwater tanks, and we’re on hand to help you save money on your next water bill. Just give us a call for a free quote.

How do rainwater tanks work?

Rainwater tanks collect runoff from your roof guttering. The water is fed through downpipes and into your tank. Collecting rainwater in this fashion eases your reliance on mains water supplies. You can use the rainwater for your toilet, laundry, garden, swimming pool and car while saving the higher-quality mains water for activities like drinking, cooking and showering.

What government rebates are available for rainwater tank installation?

The NSW Government currently offers up to $1500 in rebates for rainwater tank installation. This includes a rebate for the tank itself valued anywhere between $150 and $500, depending on the tank’s capacity. A further $500 is provided if the tank is connected or ‘plumbed in’ to your toilet, and another $500 is provided if the tank is plumbed into your washing machine.

The Federal Government offers up to $500 in rebates as part of its National Rainwater and Greywater Initiative. Unlike the state rebate, connection to your toilet and/or laundry is a requirement rather than an option. Plumbed-in tanks between 2,000 and 3,999 litres receive a $400 rebate, while plumbed-in tanks of more than 4,000 litres receive the $500 amount.

In both cases, tanks must be installed and connected by a licensed plumber in order to qualify for the rebate. ARCS plumbers are fully qualified to ensure your tank is installed and plumbed into your home to comply with the governments’ standards, and to set you up for the audit inspection which will be carried out by Sydney Water.
