Whether it's an older system that's started playing up or a new landscape that needs waterwise coverage from day one, we handle the lot — repairs, servicing, controllers, bores and full installations.
Verge planting and reticulation rules sit with the City of Stirling, while watering days come from the Water Corporation sprinkler roster, not the council — worth checking both before any verge retic work. Our depot in Jandakot puts Watermans Bay about 30 km away, comfortably inside our everyday coverage.

Sand over limestone: what it means for your retic
Soil — Spearwood sands. Yellow Spearwood sand over limestone drains freely, so splitting your watering-day run into two shorter cycles, with a wetting agent, beats one long soak. The shallow limestone also makes trenching for repairs harder than it looks.
Groundwater & bores. 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.
Rainfall — about 727mm a year. Averages about 727mm a year at the Swanbourne gauge with roughly 78% falling May-September — so the controller should step down through autumn and observe the 1 June - 31 August sprinkler switch-off.

Local reticulation questions
Yes, no prior approval needed. Watermans Bay is in the City of Stirling. Ideally your waterwise verge won't need a permanent irrigation system once established. If you do require irrigation, sub-surface drip irrigation is recommended. The sprinkler roster is a Water Corporation matter, so it doesn't change at the council boundary.
Generally yes — Watermans Bay sits over accessible groundwater, which is why garden bores are common here. That said, two neighbouring blocks can differ on yield and iron content, so it's an assessment rather than a given. Bores, pumps and bore-fed retic are all work we do.
Watermans Bay sits on Spearwood sands. Water moves through it fast, and the sand can turn water-repellent once it dries out. Your technician confirms the profile on site before programming anything — Watermans Bay blocks vary street to street.
Watermans Bay is about 30 km from our Jandakot depot and sits on a run our vehicles work weekly, so most repairs here are booked within days, not weeks. Repairs aren't quoted — you book a repair and the technician diagnoses and fixes on site, most faults in the same visit, with the parts already on the van.
Repairs aren't quoted: you book one, and the technician diagnoses and fixes it on site, most faults in the same visit. If parts need ordering, we tell you the cost first. If you know where your valve boxes are, say so when you book: on an older system, finding buried valves can take longer than replacing them.
