Bore holes
Bore Hole systems
Commercial users and Domestic households are turning to borehole water sources for significant savings for future water supplies.
Environmentally Friendly
Water boreholes are environmentally friendly as the demand for water increases from new housing. It is generally estimated that there is two thirds more water underground than on the surface. For every customer who switches to his own source, there is saving to the mains water supply which may have been abstracted from rivers. Borehole water is usually completely independent of surface water and they obtain their water from underground aquifers running through the rock, the source of which may be several miles or more from the borehole position. Additionally the borehole is lined with steel until solid rock is reached and then pressure grouted into the rock so as to seal the borehole from outside sources and to eliminate any chance of surface contamination. There can be no guarantee of water quality but in general terms borehole water quality is excellent and most water can be treated economically to meet potable water standards or the requirements of the user.
ReGen(ni) offer a competitive service for the total installation of a complete independent groundwater supply.
Domestic installations should normally be eligible for a grant of up to £2,500 from the Low Carbon Building Programme, and most local authorities will not require you to obtain planning permission, except in special areas or a listed building. and will be installed by a fully accredited installer. You can also claim Renewable Obligation Certificates for any energy generated by your Solar PV system, irrespective of if you use it yourself or export it back to the grid.
