Verge and streetscape watering rules sit with the City of Swan — worth checking before verge retic work, and we can advise on what your council allows. 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. About 672mm a year (Pearce Raaf), with ~77% arriving May-September — a smart controller with seasonal adjust handles the swing, and winter watering is largely unnecessary even before the ban. Our depot in Jandakot puts The Vines about 40 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.

What does The Vines’s soil and water mean for your retic?
Soil — Bassendean sands. This grey sand belt is notorious for dry patch — hydrophobic by mid-summer. Frequent light watering, 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 672mm a year. Annual rain near 672mm and strongly seasonal (~77% May-Sep at Pearce Raaf); the practical schedule is full summer duty, tapering shoulder seasons, sprinklers off 1 June - 31 August.

Reticulation The Vines FAQs
Generally yes — The Vines 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. 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.
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. We factor this into zoning, run times and sprinkler selection on every The Vines job — it's the difference between a green lawn and a water bill.
The Water Corporation roster applies across The Vines 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.
