(b) Low income households are provided with subsidised showerhead installation through the Utility Hardship Intervention Project, also described by some participants as the Water and Energy Savings Trial (WEST).

The Program is provided through the Sustainability Programs and Projects Branch of TAMS.
The Sustainability Programs and Projects Branch will also include an offer to pension cardholders in its upcoming dual flush toilet rebate program. The program will offer rebates of $100 for replacement of single flush toilets with dual flush systems. Pension cardholders will be offered a full rebate on a new dual flush toilet.
