Sprinkling Regulations

Sprinkling Regulations are in effect throughout the year. Water use per person can more than double during the dry summer months. The use of sprinklers accounts for the largest volume of water consumed during this period. Sprinkling times are designated to ensure a reliable supply of water for household use and for fire protection. If water consumption is too high, sprinkling times may be reduced or cancelled, as outlined in our . . .

Drought Management Plan

What if I am not home on my scheduled sprinkling day?

Most lawns need about 25mm (1 inch) of water per week, including rainfall, which can be easily applied on just one of your sprinkling days.

Sprinkler Timers

Ever wake up wondering if you left your sprinkler on? Do you ever want to turn your sprinkler on and have it shut itself off?

Perhaps it is time to find yourself a sprinkler timer. These are simply put onto your hose and will shut off your sprinkler when the preset time has expired. It is very easy to setup, and even easier to use. Try one today and save yourself time, worry and most importantly, thousands of litres of water!
