Yanchep supply zone
Very hard water
198mg/L total hardness (range 190–210)
Water in Yanchep is very hard — among the hardest in Perth. Limescale will build up quickly on appliances and hot water systems. Scale prevention is well worth it here.
Other figures worth knowing
Chlorine by-products (THMs)0.065mg/L
pH7.63
Dissolved solids576mg/L
Sodium90mg/L
Perth's water is disinfected with free chlorine at roughly 0.4–1.0 mg/L network-wide. The figure above is trihalomethanes (THMs) — by-products of chlorination that a catalytic carbon filter reduces. In Yanchep they run at about 26% of the safety guideline.
What this means for your home
Water in Yanchep is very hard — among the hardest in Perth. Limescale will build up quickly on appliances and hot water systems. Scale prevention is well worth it here.

About this supply area: Water Corporation reports quality by supply locality rather than individual suburb, so the suburbs listed at the top of this page all share the Yanchep figures. Your exact property may vary slightly. Water Corporation doesn’t publish supply boundaries street-by-street, so matching suburbs to localities involves some interpretation — homes near a boundary may actually be served by a neighbouring locality, and figures there can differ slightly.
