Private Water Supply


It is any water supply which is not provided by a water company and which is not considered to be a “mains supply”. Private water supplies can obtained from a variety of sources including springs, wells and boreholes. All private water supplies can present a risk to health unless they are properly managed.  Having drilled the borehole, water samples are taken and analysed. The results will show if any filtration equipment is required to ensure the water is safe to drink. It may not be possible to see whether your water supply is contaminated by its colour, taste or odour but at TWP we can test for contamination and treat any issues that might be present.


Commercial Water Supply

An Industrial borehole tends to be for farms /processing plants/breweries/factories/engineering/construction etc and normally require considerable quantities of water.

They can be used for livestock watering/irrigation/heat pumps/processing/production.

They range in size from 150mm diameter to 500mm diameter and can be in excess of 100 metres deep.

Due to the quantities of water involved many require abstraction licences, we are able to help with the application if required.

They may also require further development and test pumping to achieve the desired quantity of water, again we can help with this process.


Environmental

T W Page and Son Ltd (the Company) is fully aware water is a precious commodity and its protection and management is integral to its business. Whether this is connecting customers to new sources of water, ensuring existing water supplies continue to comply with the high standards expected or investing in innovative solutions to demands for water.

We are committed to preventing pollution and any adverse consequences of our activities in pursuance of our customer’s demands and this is reflected in the training and promotion of environmentally-friendly policies to all employees and contractors.

Our environmental policy takes into account the potential impact of our activities and includes the minimum use of single-use plastics, hazardous materials (where practical), safe disposal of waste where re-cycling is not possible and other measures to reduce adverse consequences of our activities.
