The farm supply is separate from the house.we put a stop tap to stop the bore hole water getting back into the main if any thing went wrong. And also if the bore broke down we can turn back to the main . We are going to take into the house at some point and have all the filters and uv lights put in

Price depends on a number of factors. Drilling the hole is not the biggest cost, depending on depth. Then does it need a liner to maintain the hole. Size of pump depending on requirements. Then potentialy big expense, need for filters. Iron & Manganese often a problem. UV filter to get rid of any pathogens. Water softener if hard water
Ours was £16k 5 years ago. hole was 70m deep, pump sits at 30m Filters as above, which automatically back flush every night. Sized at 20 cu m day
Only running costs some leccy & 2 pallets salt ayear for the softener circa £700 / year. Replaced a water bill approaching £8k / year
Installed by Dales water
There is a company at Halwhistle, havn`t had any dealings with them but worth a call

Lakes and Dales water supplies, Colin Armistead, did ours and I would think he would do just about everyone’s in the area.
Would guess ours will have been in 12ish years, never had any issues with it. One neighbour, it turns the pipes black and can block them up while another neighbour it’s turns the pipes orange!
Definitely one of the better things we’ve done!
