Permanent winter sprinkler bans apply to all scheme and bore water users in Perth, Mandurah and some parts of the South West, from 1 June to 31 August each year.
The map below shows the areas that the winter sprinkler ban applies to.
During last year's sprinkler ban over 45 million litres of water were saved each day. Hand-held watering and maintenance testing of bores is still permitted, but anyone using their sprinklers between June and August risks a $100 fine.
Remember to check the batteries in your automatic irrigation system. In a power black-out, if the battery is not charged, the settings revert to the factory settings and your sprinklers may turn on. A malfunctioning irrigation controller is not an excuse for not complying with your allocated watering days or times!
