Barwon Water’s new WaterSmart Washing Machine Rebate is designed to save customers’ water and money.
Managing Director Shaun Cumming said applications were now open for rebates of $250 for eligible customers to upgrade to an efficient front-loader.
“The rebates are available to residential customers who have purchased a minimum 4.5-Star WELS and 4-Star energy rated front loading washing machine to upgrade their old machine on or after 1 December 2023,” said Cumming.
Cumming said Barwon Water is addressing the challenge of finding more water to cater for a growing population and the impact of water becoming less reliable in a hotter, drier climate.
“Improved water efficiency has an important role to play in meeting this challenge, which is why we are looking to support our customers to improve water efficiency and preserve this precious resource,” he said.
Cumming said on top of the rebate, upgrading to an efficient washing machine could save customers around 26 thousand litres or $62 a year on water alongside $107 annually in energy savings.
He also said the water efficiency project would save residential customers money and contribute to permanent water savings.
To be eligible, residential customers must have a property connected to mains drinking water charged a residential water charge, provide proof of purchase and have purchased and installed an eligible washing machine on or after 1 December 2023 and prior to applying for the rebate.
