Setting up a water well system

Hi does anyone have any experience or info on where I start with connecting to our well. The house we have bought is the last one without water supply in the hamlet and it’s at my property also.

Where do I buy they equipment

Is it cheaper to buy in the uk and drive it over

What do I need etc

First off you have to declare your project to use well water at your marie. It may be on your land but there are controls of using ground water.

This is from Gers, but will be similar everywhere

I second @JaneJones comment.

24 years ago we were held to ransom over getting a new mains water supply connected to our barn (that became a house). We were poised to go down the borehole route which revealed that we would have had to get approval (by no means would that have been automatic) &, of course, have the water tested regularly.

The happy ending was that the ransom went away, so the borehole option wasn’t required.

Do bear in mind that if your borehole doesn’t have power you will also lose your water supply :flushed_face:

The well is used by the house already just doesn’t have a proper system connected the old owner used to run a hose. I’m more interested in setting up a system as been told when I’ve bought it all is fine to use it
