17 retic jobs here so far
Repairs, upgrades and replacements are all common in Riverton, and our technicians cover the whole suburb.
Older Riverton systems often need worn parts replaced and controllers updated to the current roster — straightforward work that restores efficiency. Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Canning, while watering days come from the state-wide roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Leached grey sand with almost no clay or nutrient holding; it turns non-wetting in summer, so soil wetters and a well-programmed controller earn their keep here. Sandy soils over shallow groundwater make this classic garden-bore territory; running retic from a bore takes garden watering off the scheme-water bill. Bores follow the same 2-day roster and winter switch-off as scheme users. Around 808mm falls annually (Jandakot Aero data), close to 79% of it May-September; gardens rely almost entirely on reticulation from November to March, when scheduling accuracy matters most. Our depot in Jandakot puts Riverton about 7 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.

Grey Bassendean sand: fast-draining and water-repellent
Soil — Bassendean sands. This grey sand belt is notorious for dry patch — hydrophobic by mid-summer. Splitting one watering into two cycles inside the same window, wetting agents and even sprinkler coverage are the local formula.
Groundwater & bores. 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.
Rainfall — about 808mm a year. Local average is ~808mm a year, about 79% of it in the May-September wet season (Jandakot Aero) — reprogram seasonally and switch sprinklers off for the mandatory June-August ban.

Local reticulation questions
Yes — when a system is past repairing economically, we'll assess your property and quote a new waterwise system. Book a paid site assessment to get started — credited in full if you accept the quote within 30 days.
Yes, subject to conditions. Riverton 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.
A controller repair isn't quoted: book the visit and it's diagnosed and fixed on site. An upgrade, say to Wi-Fi, can be quoted without a visit: tell us if your controller is hardwired or plugs into a power point (a photo helps). If it needs an electrician, we arrange one.
