Concession discounts

Eligible TasWater customers are entitled to receive the Tasmanian Government funded water and sewerage concession of up to

 FY 2024-2025 (current)
 $237.78 (water: $118.89 and sewerage $118.89)

The concession is applied as per the guidelines published at http://concessions.tas.gov.au.

In addition to holding a valid concession card to receive the concession, you must be legally responsible for the account and occupy the property as your principal place of residence.

An application for a concession can be made at any time. The amount of concession is applied on a pro-rata basis from the day after we receive the application form.

Water leak rebate

If you receive a higher than average water usage charge as a result of an undetectable water leak, TasWater may provide you with a rebate of up to 50% for the portion of your water usage charge that exceeds your average water use for the property. To apply for the rebate you will need to provide TasWater with written evidence of an undetectable leak and subsequent repair. TasWater allows one rebate per property for the duration of ownership and is granted at TasWater's discretion.

Verification

We are required to verify your eligibility for a concession with Centrelink, which requires you to provide consent for us to share your information with Centrelink. All new applications for concession include this consent clause, however, many older applications did not include this step.

If active consent is required for your existing concession, we will be contacting you shortly.

Special needs customers

TasWater offers a discount to:

  • customers using kidney dialysis machines in their homes; and
  • customers where it is determined by TasWater that they have special requirements, because of a medical condition of the customer or persons to whom services are provided by the customer; and
  • any special needs customers as determined by the Economic Regulator.

The discount is equal to 200kL per annum at the prevailing volumetric tariff (pro rata to apply).

For home haemodialysis patients, your renal unit will ask permission to forward your account details to TasWater. This information will allow TasWater to apply the discount to your account.

For customers with other medical conditions, please contact our Customer Service team via e-mail on [email protected] or by phone on 13 6992 for further information.
