Water, water everywhere....




At last, at last we have a borehole. Cheers all round. At last, at last I have had answers to my many emails about how to put water into our pipes without the need to completely recreate the system. And it is as I thought - we can put water from the borehole into our existing pipes providing the mains water is no longer going into the same pipes - so we need to separate them.




So we have a borehole producing water. The water needs to be analysed to make sure it is both potable and palatable and the filters calibrated to deal with anything that should be removed. The pipework needs to be separated into two systems so we need to work out where to do that. The borehole needs to be connected up. As the camping season is now on us it is going to be September before we connect it just in case there is a problem but I can now say that the end is in sight for the lack of water on Herons Wey - until we build the new toilet blocks and use lots more.


Picture of the drilling rig is attached - it is difficult to photograph a borehole so this will have to do.
