WaterSmart Homes service (formerly Indoor Water Tune-up)

WaterSmart Homes program registrations closed 27 July 2007

Territory and Municipal Services advises that registrations for the WaterSmart Homes program ceased at close of business on Friday 27 July 2007. No further registrations will be taken.

Why has WaterSmart Homes closed?

Several companies accredited in the ACT under the ACT/ NSW Greenhouse Gas Abatement Scheme are now providing services to supply and install water-efficient showerheads and energy-efficient light bulbs at no cost to ACT residents. You may have seen some of these companies at displays in your local shopping centre or 'door knocking' in your suburb. They can do this free-of-charge because they trade the resulting Greenhouse Gas Abatement Cerificates to electricity retailers and certain other companies that need credits when they fail to meet  their greenhouse gas abatement targets.

This allows the ACT Government to redirect WaterSmart Homes funding into other existing programs like the GardenSmart service and to look at developing new programs to assist households to be more water-efficient. Details of new programs will be included on the tune-ups and rebates page when they are available.

For further information about the closure of the program, call 13 22 81.

The following list contains links to those accredited companies that have advised they are actively running light globe and/or showerhead give-away or replacement programs in the ACT. This list was last updated in January 2008.

Provision of this information does not constitute endorsement of any particular company's program by the ACT Government. The list is not guaranteed to be exhaustive at all times, as companies may open and/or close programs without advice to the ACT Government. Accredited companies are invited to advise Water Resources of commencement and closure of programs to allow this list to be updated.
