What does Highgate’s soil and water mean for your retic?

Soil — Spearwood sands. Quick-draining yellow sand where moisture rarely lingers; frequent short cycles and periodic coverage checks keep growth even across the limestone country.

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 718mm a year. Expect ~718mm annually per the Perth Metro gauge, heavily winter-weighted (~79% May-Sep): summer is effectively rain-free, so summer run times carry the garden.

What kind of retic work do we do in Highgate?

Between 63+ commercial maintenance visits and our residential call-outs, Highgate is one of our busiest suburbs. On the tools, that mostly means controller work, servicing & tune-ups and sprinkler & pop-up repairs.

Extensive wire damage on a Highgate system

A Highgate system came in with problems on both sides of the valve: extensive damage to the field wiring, and faulty solenoids (the electrically-operated valve that feeds one station) at the end of it. Our technician repaired the field wire, replaced the failed valves, repaired the poly pipe, then flushed the system and adjusted and replaced fittings across it before setting the controller.

Wire damage and solenoid failure often appear together, and it is worth understanding why. A damaged wire can leave a coil energised intermittently, and repeated partial energising is hard on a solenoid.

Equally, a failing coil draws current abnormally, which stresses the circuit. Repairing one and not the other tends to bring the system back for a second visit, so where both are present it is usually right to deal with both at once.

Reticulation Highgate FAQs

Only with an approved Landscape and Reticulation Plan. Highgate is in the City of Vincent. A detailed Landscape and Reticulation Plan for the road verge must be submitted to the City for assessment and approval by the Parks and Property Services Section, drawn to a scale of 1:100.

Verge rules by council

Generally yes — Highgate 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.

Garden bores in Perth

Highgate 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 Highgate is controller work, so that's where the technician starts. We aim for around 10mm on each of your two watering days, and decide on site whether that wants one run or two cycles inside the same window.

Perth soil types & watering

The same two-day Water Corporation roster as the rest of Perth — Highgate is no exception, and bores are on it too. Because the roster keys off your street number, two houses on the same street can be on different days — worth checking rather than copying a neighbour.

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.
