Your local Merriwa reticulation team
One call covers everything watering-related: mains reticulation, controllers, solenoids, wiring faults, and bore pumps if your property runs on groundwater.
Verge and streetscape watering rules sit with the City of Wanneroo — worth checking before verge retic work, and we can advise on what your council allows. Spearwood-belt sand sheds water quickly past roots; wetting agents and short repeat cycles keep gardens even. Limestone near the surface calls for experience when digging in new lines. Groundwater under this part of the coastal plain is generally accessible, so a garden bore (new or revived) is a practical way to water without paying scheme rates. Water Corporation's roster and winter sprinkler ban still apply to bores. The Pearce Raaf gauge averages ~672mm a year, ~77% of it May through September — dial summer cycles for zero rainfall help and let the winter switch-off do its job. We're about 50 km from our Jandakot base, well inside the daily service runs.
We’re Waterwise-endorsed and Irrigation Australia members, every job is backed by a full warranty, and we’re Perth’s most-reviewed retic specialist (rated 4.7 from 230 Google reviews).

What does Merriwa’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Spearwood sands. This limestone-derived sand holds little water, favouring brief, frequent irrigation runs. Alkaline soil and caprock are normal here — worth knowing before any retic excavation.
Groundwater & bores. The superficial aquifer here typically supports domestic garden bores — a big running-cost saving over scheme water for lawns. Note bore users now share the standard 2-days-per-week roster and the 1 June - 31 August switch-off.
Rainfall — about 672mm a year. Roughly 672mm a year here (Pearce Raaf), with about 77% of it falling May-September — the long dry rest of the year is why controller programming and coverage checks pay for themselves.
