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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishjohn Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) 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 Edited July 19, 2020 by scottishjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottishjohn Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 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 - 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
