Your local Tapping reticulation team

Every visit is backed by a full warranty, Waterwise endorsement and Irrigation Australia membership — and a review record no other Perth retic business matches.

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. Yellow Spearwood sand over limestone drains freely, so shorter, more frequent cycles with a wetting agent beat one long soak. The shallow limestone also makes trenching for repairs harder than it looks. Domestic bores perform well across this sand-plain suburb, and an older bore is often worth servicing rather than abandoning. Bore watering follows the standard 2-day roster and the June-August sprinkler switch-off. Local average is ~672mm a year, about 77% of it in the May-September wet season (Pearce Raaf) — reprogram seasonally and switch sprinklers off for the mandatory June-August ban. We're about 42 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 Tapping’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. Frequent light watering 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 672mm a year. Expect ~672mm annually per the Pearce Raaf gauge, heavily winter-weighted (~77% May-Sep): summer is effectively rain-free, so summer run times carry the garden.

What Tapping customers say

First and foremost, hats off to Amanda who was very prompt with all the emails sent to me and my wife when booking the appointments. She has answered all our questions and very friendly over the phone. Great job done by Dylan. All done in a day and great work quality on the solenoid valve. Also appreciate him checking our sprinklers if they were working fine. Very happy with the overall service. Cheers!

Reticulation Tapping FAQs

Generally yes — Tapping sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. Bore water isn't metered like scheme water, so a bore can dramatically cut the running cost of keeping lawns and gardens alive. We install, service and repair bores and pumps; ask us whether your block is a good candidate. Domestic bores perform well across this sand-plain suburb, and an older bore is often worth servicing rather than abandoning. Bore watering follows the standard 2-day roster and the June-August sprinkler switch-off.

Bore pump repairs & servicing

Yellow Spearwood sand over limestone drains freely, so shorter, more frequent cycles with a wetting agent beat one long soak. The shallow limestone also makes trenching for repairs harder than it looks. We factor this into zoning, run times and sprinkler selection on every Tapping job — it's the difference between a green lawn and a water bill.

Servicing & system tune-ups

The Water Corporation roster applies across Tapping like the rest of Perth — two watering days a week based on your address (bores included, since the 2022 roster change), and the winter sprinkler switch-off runs June through August. We set every controller we touch to the correct roster before we leave.
