Residents on Eurobodalla's town-water supply can save water – and money – with a new rainwater tank rebate program.
The rebates range from $200 to $600 depending on the tank's size and cost. To be eligible, tanks must be purchased after 1 July 2025, hold at least 2,000 litres – either as one tank or two 1,000 litre tanks – and be connected to garden irrigation. Additional rebates are available if the tanks also supply toilets and washing machines.
Eurobodalla Mayor Mathew Hatcher says the rebate is a practical way to reduce water consumption and ease demand on town supply.
"Using water wisely at home is a win for you and for the environment," the Mayor says.
"The trial runs for three months and it's easy to apply using Rebately. Just be aware, you can't use the rebate for BASIX or Development Application compliance."
