Frequently Asked Questions
A water bore is a way of accessing groundwater which accumulates in aquifers from seepage of rain and rivers through layers of soil and rock.
An aquifer is formed through layers of fractured rock and sand in which fractures and pore spaces are filled with water. These formations store ground water which can be accessed by a water bore pump.
Water plays a key role in our life, especially on rural properties. Whether you are a business, school, golf course, market gardener, person living on small acres, running a hobby farm, have horses or other livestock or maybe you are just a keen gardener water is essential. Not all properties have access to town water, and they solely depend on rainwater or buying loads of water. Even properties that have access to town water may be subject to water restrictions in time of drought.
Installing a water bore may see you have access to underground water. No longer will you have to depend on rainfall or adhere to water restrictions. Not to mention reduce your water consumption bill.
The installation of a water bore can also increase the value of your property.
Ground water can be pumped out of the water bore to an irrigation system or pumped to a storage tank or dam.
Water bores are constructed for a wide variety of applications such as:
- Irrigation
- Livestock watering
- Dam or tank filling
- Commercial use
- Household and domestic use
- Drinking water
Water quality should be assessed with reference to relevant Australian Guidelines. You can have the water tested by an accredited laboratory.
Landholders must use a driller who holds a current NSW Driller’s licence of the correct class to construct bore. Contact us and we can put you in touch with a reputable licensed driller in your area.
Contact us and we can put you in touch with a reputable licensed and registered driller in your area to go through the process of getting a water bore drilled. Once this is done, we can install the water bore pump for you.
All water bores vary in depth. Whilst groundwater can be found in most places across NSW the yield and quality will vary. The geology beneath your property is important and your driller will be able to assist you in assessing the depth of the bore.
Pump selection is crucial in achieving optimum performance in water bores. For the correct size pump to be selected, we would require the following details which should be on your drillers report:
- Hole Depth
- Pump Depth
- Power – 240V or 415V
- How much water the hole is delivering per minute
- Water usage details
No, the bore hole will need to be drilled first, as the water bore pump specifications depend on things like the depth of the hole, the amount of water being delivered and the application of the pump. We would be able to give you a quote once we have these details from the driller’s report.
Yes, you need a licence prior to having the water bore drilled and the driller will have the paperwork for this. More information can be found on the WaterNSW website
Use the NSW Water Register to search for information about a water licence. If your bore is unlicensed, they will advise you whether you may be able to apply for a licence and whether any licensing restrictions or embargoes may apply.
Water can be tested with any accredited laboratory which is registered with the National Association of Testing Authorities
You will need to check with your insurance provider to see if you are eligible to claim repairs or replacement through your insurance. The most common type of claim is fusion due to lightning strike or power surge.
It is not recommended that you install the water bore pump yourself as warranty can be void and you may install the pump incorrectly causing damage to the pump or the bore hole itself which may require you to have a new hole drilled which would be very costly. Also, a licensed electrician must hook up the pump.
