Watering Your Perth Lawn: A Guide for the Parched and the Perplexed
Living in Perth is pretty darn sweet – sunshine, beaches, and the never-ending quest for that perfect shade of green on your lawn. But before you grab the hose and unleash a Niagara Falls on your thirsty grass, there's a little hurdle to jump: watering restrictions.
Perth takes water conservation seriously, and with good reason! Let's face it, nobody wants a brown barbie or a swimming pool in the middle of their street (although, that would be a pretty epic slip-and-slide).
So, how do you know when it's your turn to give your lawn a drink? Don't worry, it's not rocket science (unless you're watering your lawn with a repurposed spaceship, which would be both impressive and slightly concerning).

The Great Watering Day Decoder Ring
The key to unlocking your lawn's hydration lies in the last digit of your house number (or lot number, if you're fancy). Here's the breakdown:
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
- 1 or 8: You're a Wednesday and Saturday warrior.
- 2 or 9: Thursdays and Sundays are your days to shine (or, you know, sprinkle).
- 3 or 0: Get ready to rumba with the hose on Mondays and Fridays.
Remember: Watering is only allowed once a day, either before 9 am or after 6 pm.
Boredom Busters: Because Watering Restrictions Shouldn't Be a Drag
We all know the struggle is real when you see your neighbour's lawn looking like a tropical oasis while yours resembles the outback. But fear not, fellow Perthians! Here are some ways to keep yourself entertained while your sprinklers take a break:
- Channel your inner Michelangelo and sculpt a masterpiece out of dried dirt.
- Train your pet goldfish for the next synchronized swimming Olympics.
- Hold a staring contest with a kookaburra. Winner gets bragging rights (and maybe some existential questions about the meaning of life).
Important Note: Don't take any of the above advice too seriously (especially the goldfish Olympics).
But Seriously, Folks: There can be hefty fines for watering outside your designated days. So, play it safe and stick to the schedule.
