It depends on the depth to water at your property. Depth to water is partly related to how high you are above sea level so high on a hill generally costs more and down low generally costs less. we can tell you the price quite accurately,without even visiting site by accessing the data on the Perth Groundwater Atlas.
Roughly though, water bores in Perth costal plane generally range in price from $3500 to $9,000 as a finished project. Most Perth bores are at the lower end of this price range between $4000 and $4,700. Differences in water bore cost include pump size and type, depth to water, and access considerations.

Yes. The August 2011 Department of Water Operational guidelines 5.17 states:
“Are there any fees or charges for metropolitan garden bores? There are no fees or charges payable to the department for allowing construction or use of a garden bore.”
Many clients without access to mains scheme water drink bore water. It is most important though to have it tested regularly by an accredited laboratory to ensure suitability for drinking.
It surely brings a smile to our faces when we can back a drilling rig up on a nice flat front lawn but we understand that this isn’t always possible.
We have smaller rigs for tight spots, 4WD drive drilling rigs for difficult terrain and even track mounted rigs often available for when the going gets really tough in sloping sandy sites.
Sometimes the only location to drill is in the driveway with the borehead nicely finished of with a trafficable lid. It is best if the position selected is as close as practical to the proposed electrical power connection.
Of course we also have to avoid underground services such as Telstra, gas, water and sewerage. We must also be clear of overhead obstructions to accommodate the mast of the drilling rig.
It’s always a good feeling when we hit water!
After we celebrate, the water bore is cased with PVC, gravel packed and grouted. The water bore is then airlifted and salinity tested.
There will be 50cm of PVC above ground. You will require the supply and installation of a borehole pump to access water, provided by a third party.
Upon completion of the drilled water bore, you will be sent a final invoice within 48 hours.
Once payment is received, a bore log is submitted to you will be provided with a copy.
This contains important information that your pump manufacturer will utilise to design a pump that suits your water bore.
Not relevant for perth coastal plains. Unfortunately, we don’t always hit water especially in the perth hills and wheatbelt area. The hole is backfilled with drill cuttings and the top of the hole is cemented. The finished hole looks like a circle of concrete in the ground.
Upon completion of the water bore, you will be sent a final invoice within 48 hours. Once payment is received, a bore log is submitted to the Department of water, and you will be provided with a copy.
The drilling or “water boring” of most Perth bores is completed in a day. Some elevated positions like near the water towers in City Beach and Kardinya and the Perth Hills require quite deep bores and consequently, the drilling may spread over a couple of days.
Drilling a bore hole will produce several cubic metres of spoil. This can be captured by having a skip bin on site to put the waste straight in to waste could be sand, clay, rock chips.
We run an above ground mud tank to recirculate the drilling fluid and cut it when drilling on the Perth coastal plain limiting the impact of waste. When drilling in the perth hills a down hole hammer is used with a compressor to inject air that will produce muddy water. An environmentally friendly solution is used to help break down the debris which results in a large amount of foam. This foam will naturally biodegrade over a few days. Our drilling crew will do their best to contain the foam and muddy water as much as possible.
Noise – we recommend advising your neighbours that drilling will be taking place as a compressor will be running throughout the drilling process. There will also be dust and vibration.
With experience in all aspects of Exploration, Geotechnical, Environmental drilling, and Hydro and Water Well Drilling, we are here to look after our clients in a professional, ethical, and reliable manner, while maintaining safe, environmentally responsible practices.
