Can a Borehole Save Your Business Money?

October 8, 2019

If your business consumes a lot of mains water, developing an independent water supply borehole could potentially offer significant savings.

The natural geological setting, water availability and regulatory situation are different for each business. We can help you find out if a borehole would benefit you, using a low-cost and low-risk approach.


We look at whether developing a borehole is cost-effective and feasible in your location. We also look at the regulatory constraints, to make sure that you don’t run in to any problems when you are developing your borehole or abstracting your water.


If you want to explore the possibilities of a private water supply, get in touch with our groundwater team today on 01748 889269 or email phil@envireauwater.co.uk. Or come along to our Borehole Users Conference, where you can learn about borehole water supply from industry experts and network with suppliers and engineers.

As much as we all love the sunshine and have been embracing the recent warmer weather spell across the UK, the prolonged dry conditions are now raising concerns that England may be at risk of a potential drought this summer. Following an exceptionally sunny and dry April, which experienced just over 56% of usual rainfall, the start of May was also the warmest on record, surpassing the previous high set in 1990. With water resources already strained, it is more important than ever that proactive measures are promptly adopted to mitigate this risk, promote water conservation and avoid the potential for future restrictions. We asked Principal Water Resources Specialist, Tamsin Morey , for her thoughts on the matter... Tamsin, what dangers are we already seeing in the UK?
