You could also have reticualted gas, i.e. a gas pipeline to your house ratehr than using LPG bottles, but I think in this context it means the agrden has a sprinkler system,.

Reticulated - connected to water and sewer.
Irrigated - watered area.

"Additionally, Brisbane was the first Australian capital city to complete the conversion from town gas to natural gas. Reticulation began when a pipeline from Roma to Brisbane was officially opened in 1969."

Maybe it means sewage is sprinkled on your lawn

...and then ignited with gas

Reticulated services are local distribution networks.

For housing water, electricity, and sewerage can all be reticulated systems. In other words they are connected to a network.

Septics, composting toilets, solar power, standalone gensets, water tanks, wells or bores supplying a single residence are not reticulated systems.

Ok - I think I may be better off asking an estate agent !!

so, what was the "correct" answer

I noticed the Reticulated housing water mentioned whilst I was down in Surfers Paradise area. That will be as opposed to using bore hole water !

What's up with "own bore hole" then? (Genuine, not sarcastic question!) They always make it out to seem a real bonus?!?

It's just a little place you can go for some peace and quiet

Genuine answer here:

Disadvantage:
The water tastes "horrible"


Advantage:
No water restriction on using it. Great for watering the garden. But i'd need to boil it first, and add something to make it taste OK, before I drank it.

Last time I went somewhere with just bore water, I had to buy bottled water to drink and brush teeth with.

But again, we are all different, some people like it !!

Ok - answer from estate agents was a sprinkler system. Can be automatic or can be manual. In addition it can come from mains water or your own bore hole.

Does this clear it up ?

And if you don't have a reticulated water system, you have to water manually or everything dies. (Just thought I'd mention it, because you only need to forget once - hot day - everythings cactus!)

I don't think I'd drink bore water - not when people still use septic toilets that can contaminate the water reserves. Bore water often contains minerals that discolour the brickwork on house walls - if it looks a rusty colour, that's the explanation.

Unless you have cactus, of course, which does not need too much water - in fact if you over water it then it will be cactus. And it you under water it - it will be cactus. If you get it just right, I 'm afraid it will be cactus.

but if you overwater it, it will be drowned cactus...
