Rainwater Tank & Domestic Appliances Rebate Program

One of Lithgow’s most important water catchment areas is just above your head! During heavy rain storms, hundreds of litres of water can drain off an average roof. By installing a rainwater tank, you can capture and store this precious resource to help ease the strain on our town water, and also save money on your water accounts.

Council is introducing a rainwater tank rebate scheme to help you do this. Council is offering rebates as follows:

Option 1 Minimum 5000 litre tank – connected to Garden Tap only - $200

Option 2 Minimum 5000 litre tank – connected to Garden Tap & Toilet and Washing Machine - $800

Additionally

For water efficient Household appliances such as Dishwasher or Washing machine that have a four star WELS rating or AAAAA rating a rebate of $150/appliance/Household.

This is one of the many ways Lithgow City Council is working with the community to create sensible solutions for people and the environment to ensure that clean, fresh drinking water doesn’t become a luxury item.

For a comprehensive guide to rainwater tanks, or full details of the rebate offer and terms and conditions, refer to Council’s Rainwater Tank Rebate Policy.
