Adelaide Poly Tank Rebate

Since 1 July 2006 in South Australia building rules have required new dwellings (and some extensions or alterations) to have an additional water supply to supplement the mains water.

The additional water supply has to be plumbed to a toilet, to a water heater or to all cold water outlets in the laundry of a new home. The same rules will apply to new extensions or alterations where the area of the extension or alteration is greater than 50m² and includes a toilet, water heater or laundry cold water outlet.

These provisions will assist in reducing demand on the State’s mains water supply.

Installing specially plumbed, minimum-sized rainwater tanks will be by far the most common way of meeting the additional water supply requirement.

What size rainwater tank should be installed?

The rainwater tank must have a storage capacity not less than 1 kilolitre (1000 litres). The requirement for a minimum one kilolitre plumbed rainwater tank is additional to any other water storage tank requirements that might be required (eg other tanks are required in some areas for bushfire fighting purposes).

Where a number of dwellings contribute to a communal rainwater storage tank, each dwelling must contribute rainwater from 50m² of its roof catchment area to the rainwater tank and water from the tank must be plumbed back to each individual dwelling. In these situations, the minimum rainwater tank size required is determined by multiplying the number of dwellings that contribute to the rainwater tank by one kilolitre for each dwelling.
