[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1630856, member: 16453"] I run my house from a bore. It is only down about 20 m according to the drill log. The people I bought the place from had it put down just before they sold. It is only low yielding, used to only get 200 l from it before start sucking air and need a rest which is plenty for the house. I filled a 600 l spray tank from it a few wks ago with only a couple of small rests in between. My feeling is it is getting better with age as water finds its way to the casing. It has been very reliable right through our big drought. The people who had it dug would have liked to go deeper but couldn't afford more. In my bush block I have about 12 mining exploration drill holes drilled about 13 years ago, most have water at about 12 m. I have been pumping from one for stock stock water. It seems to regenerate a lot quicker now that I have repaired an old mining dam and it is now holding some water. Maybe it has provided a bit of pressure, they all seem to be connected as the water height in the holes seem to be about the same when you allow for the elevation of the terrain above them.
