Summer Watering Roster
On what days can I use sprinklers?
Over the spring and summer months, from 1 September until 31 May, a watering roster applies to scheme and domestic garden bore water users across most of WA. During this period, there are specific days each week when you are able to water your garden.
A 2-day we week scheme roster applies (across WA’s South Area 2 region).
Gardens can only be watered once on your allocated days. Please schedule your sprinklers and reticulation either before 9am or after 6pm.
Sprinkler roster days are based on the last digit of your house number. Where there is no house number, the lot number is to be used.
The table below shows what water roster days apply to your property.
Last digit of house number (or lot number if house number is not allocated) * | Watering Days |
1 | Wednesday and Saturday |
2 | Thursday and Sunday |
3 | Friday and Monday |
4 | Saturday and Tuesday |
5 | Sunday and Wednesday |
6 | Monday and Thursday |
7 | Tuesday and Friday |
8 | Wednesday and Saturday |
9 | Thursday and Sunday |
0 | Friday and Monday |
* You may water once per day on your allocated days, but no watering between 9am and 6pm
* To find your watering days, take the last digit of your house number and apply it to the water roster eg 14 Wildflower Street – last digit of your house number is 4, so your roster days are Saturday and Tuesday ONLY. If your property does not have an assigned house number please use the last digit of your lot number.
