The cost of Perth water increased another 10% in 2013 so it is more important than ever that you are careful with the use of your reticulation. It is estimated that up to 50% of household water usage is attributed to the sprinkler system so it pays not to waste any of that water.
One option I encourage people to consider is the installation of a bore. While the upfront cost of around $4K is significant if you plan on being in the property long term then this is an option well worth considering.
The price of water* is tiered i.e. the more you use, the more you pay. This is to help encourage the careful use of water.
- 0 – 150 kL costs $1.381 per kL
- 151 – 500 kL costs $1.841 per kL
- Over 500 kL costs $2.607 per kL
