A garden bore earns you the third watering day on the Water Corporation roster — and every litre comes out of your own backyard, not your bill. Over a Perth summer, that's the difference between a lawn that survives and one you re-turf in autumn.

The winter sprinkler switch-off (1 June – 31 August) applies to everyone, bore or scheme. Hand watering stays fine.

Word of mouth

What the neighbours say

★★★★★

"Drilled our Morley place in a morning — hit water bang on where they said, 30 metres. The lawn's never looked better and the water bill dropped $70 a cycle."

Karen & Steve · Morley — demo review
★★★★★

"Old bore died mid-January. They diagnosed a seized pump over the phone, fitted a new centrifugal two days later, and the callout came off the bill like they promised."

Priya · Spearwood — demo review
★★★★★

"Duncraig limestone is no joke — 45 metres down. They quoted it straight, no surprises on the day, and walked me through the winter switch-off before they left."

Straight answers

Bore questions we get every week

Why do bore owners get three watering days?
The Water Corporation roster gives garden bores three watering days a week (scheme sprinklers get two), before 9am or after 6pm, on days set by your street number. Your own groundwater takes pressure off the scheme, so the roster rewards it.
How long does drilling take?
Most metro garden bores are drilled in a day. Deeper coastal holes — Duncraig's 45 metres through Tamala limestone — can run into a second morning. Pump fit, electrical connection and retic hookup usually finish the day after drilling, so you're watering within the week.
Will bore water stain my walls and fence?
It can. Much of Perth's groundwater carries dissolved iron that oxidises orange where spray hits limestone, render or Colorbond. The fix is part placement (aim sprinklers off hard surfaces), part product — we test your iron level at installation and spec an inline filter if you need one.
Does the winter sprinkler switch-off apply to bores?
Yes. From 1 June to 31 August all sprinklers are off — scheme and bore alike, metro-wide. Hand watering is still allowed. Our $120 shutdown-and-restart service drains the pump for winter and re-primes it in spring.
Can my place use the cheaper centrifugal pump?
Only if your water table sits within about 7 metres of the surface — a centrifugal pump sucks rather than pushes, and physics caps the suction lift. Coastal suburbs like Spearwood usually qualify; inland on the Bassendean sands the table is deeper, so it's a submersible. The Strata Finder above shows which pump your suburb takes.
Do I need a licence for a garden bore?
In most of the Perth metro area a domestic garden bore is exempt from water licensing — but a few local areas have restrictions, and we confirm yours before any rig is booked. The drilling itself must be done by a licensed water well driller, which is us.
