Households and businesses in Perth, Mandurah and parts of the South West and Great Southern regions have been reminded to turn off their garden sprinklers for winter and help save billions of litres of water.
Water Minister Dave Kelly said residents need to turn off automatic sprinkler systems from June 1 to August 31 when the annual sprinkler ban is in effect.
"So far autumn has been relatively dry, with no rainfall recorded at all in April in the metropolitan area," Minister Kelly said.
"It is more important than ever that we keep up our waterwise habits during winter and turn off sprinklers.
"Last year, the sprinkler ban saved 4.8 billion litres of scheme water - which is enough to fill more than 2,100 Olympic-sized swimming pools."
The winter sprinkler ban applies to scheme and bore water users, however hand watering is permitted and customers can apply for an exemption to establish new lawns.
Breaching the winter sprinkler ban can result in a $100 fine if witnessed by a Water Corporation Water Efficiency Inspector, or a written warning if reported by a member of the public.
If people witness anyone breaching the winter sprinkler ban, they can report this online at http://www.watercorporation.com.au/breach or phone 13 10 39.
In areas not subject to the ban, normal watering rosters and the daytime sprinkler ban still apply.
