What is a Water Bore?
A water bore is your own personal water supply pumped directly from
groundwater to your property. Construction of a water bore should
be undertaken by Licensed Drillers to ensure conforming standards
of construction.
Why get a Water Bore?
Initially, the cost of the water bore can seem overwhelming. Weighing
up the pros and cons, you will find that the initial outlay is recouped
within the first couple of years. Statistically it has been shown
that 40% of household water is used on Gardens.
The Benefits of a Water Bore
A water
bore can be connected directly to your reticulation system
saving you money on excess water bills.
A tap outlet
allows for topping up you swimming pool, fish ponds,
washing the car, house or even the family pets
Now with
the use of Submersible Pumps, water bores no longer
have unsightly covers and remain unobtrusive.
Water bores
in some areas stain. We can help you manage
this problem.

Groundwater - A natural Resource
Groundwater has played a vital role in the development of many areas
of Australia. The extensive use made of groundwater resources stems
from a number of factors. The resource extends over large areas,
making distribution cost more economic than surface supplies. It
is generally well filtered, is mostly accessible at reasonably shallow
depths and the scale of development required can be tailored closely
to meet individual water demands.
Bore Construction - Australian Standards
Access to the resource is usually by bores. However, bores must
be constructed to an acceptable standard using appropriate materials
in order for this access to be achieved efficiently. For many individual
landholders the cost of constructing a water supply from bores represents
a large proportion of their total property investment. Therefore
it is important both to the nation as a whole and individual groundwater
users that the very large investment in bore construction be protected
by proper construction methods.
