Interesting, shame not to use it, re the walls, are you going on a dry stone walling course ? ? you have plenty of material.

when i can get the water tested  and if it comes back treatable --then yes it is the cheapest and simplest answer 

seems this -  https://www.freeflush.co.uk/collections/drinking-water-filters/products/hydroinfinity-integrated-drinking-water-treatment-console and a storage tank plumbed so it is flushed continually by stream 

the water course has to be repaired anyway no matter what.

 I splashed out on a water diviner today to see what the chances are for a well 

 and he found a good source .

so it will now come  down to numbers once I get the water test 

enviromental health are not doing that at this time due to ---you guessed it --corvid 19

Its hard to get exact figures -so many variables

well --which  I will try to itemise better -depending on depth could be similar to bringing mains up from road -

but that depends of SW price to give me supply 

 the quarry site could just pump it from the lake -dependant on water test -but as there are already quite a few wells on same hillside i think the water test will come back good or from mains 

 The Glebe is the same -difference is they won,t need a BIG pump station due to not being as high  up 

 

 I have a tame dyker --but the retaining wall  is nearly 1m thick he is making unconvicing noises at this time .

maybe I make the wall lower and make a bigger slant on the banking  the water pipe is in ,

which goes to the channel

I think the channel  will become a pond eventually anyway

SODS LAW

my culvert that runs under the road is 2 part 

a 6 "cast iron pipe down the middle ,that is placed inside a larger stone duct 

Ihave found that the iron pipe is full of sand which has gathered up over the lats 60-100years 

but its 15m long --and I only have one set of drain rods -*8m --looking all round friends to find one with a set 

to me thats the sort of thing any MAN should have -- but i forgot they all borrow mine .and i,m not really wanting to buy another set .

to use just this one time

.If i had power i could use my karcher jetting attachment -- that can drill through crap --so it would certainly get sand moving .

even a simple job gets complicated when at a distance.

such is life

Is that the only water course into the quarry/lake (other than rain ?)?

other  than what comes out of the walls of the quarry below water level

I found a man with a set and have been cleaning it out all day ,but it was successful eventually + his set returned

some success with cleaning out 

but the cast iron pipe that goes under the road and down the quarry side is full of roots --no suprise 

so got to get a man with water jetting machine with a fail attachment to cut cut them out

he cam up had a look ,then told me his van couldn,t come up my road with water tank full as that was 1.5ton payload +his jeter diesel powered which is installed in his van --too much for the springs  -,so he now going to bring a submersible pump to use water for jetter from my channel 

so he,ll ring me when he is ready to do it.piccies now channel is dug out -
