FAQ
Common questions about bore conversion
Do I need a licence to drill a bore?
For garden bores under 100 kL/year, no DWER licence is required for most Perth suburbs. Higher-volume bores need a Section 26D licence.
Will I need iron filtration?
Most Perth bore water has elevated iron and will stain limestone and rendered walls. A filter is recommended for any system that sprays onto hardscape.
