What does Cannington’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Spearwood sands. Free-draining yellow sand with limestone often close beneath — great drainage, poor moisture holding. Splitting one watering into two cycles inside the same window suits it, and retic trenching can hit caprock.
Groundwater & bores. Good bore country: the superficial aquifer is within practical drilling reach under these sands. Watering from a bore costs pumping power rather than scheme rates — with the same 2-day roster and winter ban as everyone else.
Rainfall — about 775mm a year. Local average is ~775mm a year, about 79% of it in the May-September wet season (Gosnells City) — reprogram seasonally and switch sprinklers off for the mandatory June-August ban.

What kind of retic work do we do in Cannington?

From our Cannington job book
Tracing two wire breaks either side of a Cannington driveway
A Cannington system had station 2 failing, and diagnostics at both the controller and the valve manifolds pointed at the wiring. Electronic tracing located two separate break points — one just before the driveway entrance paving and another after it, with a short section of wire between them damaged.
That pattern is telling: breaks either side of a paved crossing usually mean the paving works are the cause. The damaged section was replaced and the second break rejoined.
Our technician also noted the wider risk. Station 2 runs two solenoids wired together at the manifold rather than at the controller, and there are multiple wire joins between the controller and the valves.
Every join is a potential future failure point, so a system with many of them will keep producing wiring faults until the run is replaced.

Reticulation Cannington FAQs
Yes, subject to conditions. Cannington is in the City of Canning. To minimise unnecessary water use, property owners and occupiers are encouraged not to install or operate automatic irrigation systems.
Generally yes — Cannington sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. What varies is depth, yield and how much iron comes up with the water — all worth checking on your block before committing. We install, service and repair bores and pumps.
Cannington sits on Spearwood sands. Water moves through it fast, and the sand can turn water-repellent once it dries out. The most common thing we get booked for in Cannington is servicing & tune-ups, so that's where the technician starts. Run times get set to put down roughly 10mm per rostered day, delivered in one or two cycles inside the same watering window, depending on how fast it soaks.
The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — Cannington is no exception, and bores are on it too. The days come from your street number, so neighbours either side of you can differ. We set every controller we touch to the correct days before we leave.
Repairs aren't quoted — every system and fault is different, so you book a repair rather than a quote. The technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit. If a larger job needs parts ordered, we'll tell you the cost before we proceed.
