Dales Water Services Ltd

read moreWhether a borehole water supply is viable depends on many geological, hydrogeological, yield and water quality factors. Dales Water in-house has significant experience in all of these areas but also retains the service of a hydrogeologist and is always happy for customers to contact us to discuss their individual sites, projects and requirements to gain an opinion on the best way forward.

In certain circumstances clients may prefer that an official report is provided giving further detail on the geology, hydrogeology, water quality, yield and borehole depth requirements likely to be encountered at a particular site.

For a small charge clients have a report from one of the countries most eminent hydrogeologists to review prior to undertaking any further expenditure. Subsequent detailed quotations can be made on the recommendations of the report by Dales Water for client consideration and discussion. We always recommend that clients discuss their project with us before they request a report as the ground conditions and likely availability of water may be well unerstood due to the drilling thatour companyhas undertaken in many areas of the country.

read moreHistorically every new borehole for water abstraction purposes required an abstraction licence from the regulatory Authority, now the Environment Agency. However, in 2005 the regulations were relaxed. There is therefore now no requirement for an abstraction licence in those circumstances where less than 20 meters cubed (20,000 litres or 4400 gallons) of water is abstracted per day.

This is a significant amount of water meaning in the majority of circumstances an abstraction licence is now not required, cutting through cost, time and red tape. However, in those circumstances where more water that this is required on a daily basis Dales Water is ideally positioned to help.

Drilling at appropriate diameters (from 4 inch and up to 24 inches) for the demand of water required or client specifications, our drilling equipment is maintained to the highest standards to comply with health and safety but also making the process of drilling efficient, minimising disruption and disturbance. Drilling depths of over 400 meters are easily achievable in a short duration.
