2. Should I have my property assessed by a water diviner before I make my application to Water NSW?

This is an option you can look into. We have two water diviners that we have had success with in the past. Our team water diviner has been in the business himself for over 50 years. There is a fee involved. But if you choose to use Cameron Drilling for your bore this fee will be deducted off the final invoice. 

The second diviner has his own fees and is not associated with Cameron Drilling deducting any extras off the final invoice. 

3. What happens when you decide to use Cameron Drilling for your water bore?

If you chose to use a diviner or not our Driller will come and assess the sites for where you would like your bore to go. Having more than one option is preferred. Once these options have been discussed our team looks at water data for your property and around the area. 

A quote will then be emailed to you and an expected time frame for the work to commence will be given. If you are happy to proceed with Cameron Drilling a deposit will be requested for all materials for your job to be ordered. This deposit will be deducted from the final invoice. We understand that some jobs can be costly due to depth & materials. Our staff will ask if you would like to make payments over the course of the bore being drilled and constructed.

4. Payment terms unless discussed prior.

Invoices will be emailed with final costs within 48hrs of completion. Payment terms are balance to be paid within 7 days. 

5. What is the cost for a water bore to be drilled? 

A bore is tailor-made for each client. Every bore is different and therefore priced accordingly. The following are examples of why an exact quotation is unrealistic.

• Water is found at different depths and in different soil structures, requiring different types of drilling.
• Most bores require casing in PVC with some requiring steel. These products vary greatly in price per meter.
• Gravel packing the annulus of the bore is necessary and different quantities of gravel are required. The amount required will depend on depth and ground structure.
• Bores need to be developed, which may take an hour or a week. 
• Stainless steel filters may be required.
• Water NSW may request your bore be constructed a certain way.
