Mannion Drilling specialise in water bores of all varieties and bring a wealth of experience in the area.
We can assist you through the process, from figuring out what you need, to applying through Water NSW and then finding the right location for your next bore.
A water bore must be constructed in accordance with the “minimum construction requirements for water bores in Australia”. These rules and standards are for everyone’s protection.
This is used extensively by regulators and the drilling industry, and provides a consistent standard reference across Australia for the licensing of bores and drillers.
Prior to the construction of your bore, approval is required from Water NSW. You will require:
A map of your property and your intended location
Lot & DP numbers
Estimated depth
Estimated yield
A licence is legally required before any bore construction works can be carried out on your property. You can obtain one through WaterNSW online or call 1300 662 077.
Water bore drillers must be licensed. The license must also be suitable for the type of bore being drilled, the type of drilling rig, and the process being used for the drilling operation.
Things to consider before choosing your bore location:
Underground & overhead services such as septic, Telstra, NBN & electrical.
Existing structures such as family home, sheds & fencing.
Proximity to electricity supply.
Solar pump or electrical?
There are some scientific methods of selecting a water bore site. A local driller can often provide information on bores already drilled in your area. Water divining could be used to select a site and help increase the chances of obtaining useful supplies.
It is important to note that the very best hydro-geologist or bore hole driller can only be guided by available evidence and cannot guarantee the quality or quantity of water found.
Previous ground water site details can be accessed through Water NSW Real-time Data Website, where information is captured on existing bores, depths, quantities and quality.
A suitable site for a water bore is really the land owners responsibility.
Once you've identified a suitable location for your bore, you'll need to think about how our equipment will enter your property. You may need to remove part of your fence to allow the equipment to access your property.
It's a clever thing to plan how the drilling equipment will enter your property to avoid getting an unpleasant surprise when it's time to embark on your project.
When choosing a driller, obtain a written quote and be sure of exactly what you are getting. Make sure there are no hidden costs like site clean-up, cementing or additional equipment hire.
