This summer has already seen well below average rainfalls which in turn have resulted in hose pipe bans.

As from 3 April 2006, nearly 13 million people have had a restriction on water use. Full hosepipe and sprinkler bans were put in place by:

• Southern Water (in its Sussex North, Sussex Coast, Sussex Hasting
• Kent Thanet, Kent Medway and Isle of Wight water supply areas)
• South East Water
• Mid Kent Water
• Cholderton and District Water
• Sutton and East Surrey Water
• Thames Water
• Three Valleys Water
• Folkestone and Dover Water

To combat the bans why not consider the permanent installation of a borehole? Your Reparen Right allows you to extract up to 20,000 litres of water a day free of charge with no water abstraction licence required.

Just provide H2O with your Ordinance Survey reference point and we will provide information of yields and drilling depths from other boreholes within your area free of charge. We can provide a full installation service including drilling and lining your borehole as well as all necessary pumping equipment. Price ranges starts from £6,000.00 depending on drilling depth.
