Watering days
The Winter Sprinkler Switch-off is currently in place. The Switch-off runs throughout winter (1 June – 31 August) each year. The Switch-off is mandatory for all scheme and bore water users in Perth, Mandurah, and some parts of the South West and Great Southern. You can check if you’re included using the tool below.
Outside of the Winter Sprinkler Switch-off, you can use your sprinklers to water your garden 2 days per week (3 days if you have a bore) in Perth, Mandurah, and some parts of the South West and Great Southern. If you live elsewhere in WA, find your watering days below.
