Private water supply Scotland

[JohnMo]

My borehole is 34m deep and 27m of steel casing as it is mostly sand.  The borehole finished was £5k.

 

Test pump hire, £350

 

Final pump and control, £1700

 

Filter system £1700, treating for iron and sediment, plus a UV filter for sterilisation.

 

All the above include vat.

bore hole is going to be 10-15k

And may block up and need redrilling.

If the supply is clean then it requires very little treatment. Ours emerges from a hillside with forest and moorland above. Even the theoretical dead sheep on the hill problem would be filtered out before the spring.

Nairn and Stirling. They will readily tell you if your situation is not ideal, rather than just take the money.

And will also quote you many more pounds than the above prices. The quote I got from them with no filtration was £18,000 ex VAT just for the plant. They had already charged the farmer £18,000 to drill the hole!
