Now summer is in full swing so is the summer watering roster, with a friendly reminder from Busselton Water about the state-wide sprinkler roster.
Each household permitted only to water on their two allocated watering days. On these allocated days, sprinklers and reticulation should be set to only water once – either before 9am or after 6pm – or households could risk a fine.
Busselton Water chief executive officer Chris Elliott believes more of an emphasis is needed on preserving our local water supply, especially with climate change an increasingly impacting factor.
“It’s so important to consider not only our personal water use, but other factors that affect our local water supply – including our usual population spike to 50,000 people over the holiday period, and the pressure that our warming climate has on our natural water supply,” he said.
“We need to preserve our precious water wherever we can around our homes and businesses this summer.”
Mr Elliott said only watering on allocated days, to using a pool cover and washing your car on the lawn with a bucket – can help save water.
To calculate your watering days, look for the last digit of your house number on the roster.
For example, 12 Rose Street would water on Thursday and Sunday as their last digit is 2.
For properties who are yet to be assigned a house number, please use your lot number.
