Without going into extensive detail , we are having a problem over the supply of Domestic Water to our Villa .

On this basis , we know we have underground water as EAC found it when installing Earthing Rods .

Can anyone from experience advise of a Contractor that could come and Drill a Well , install the pump and Filter for the system ???

Also if you could PM me with a approximately the cost you encountered , which would be a great help .

Any positive advise welcome

Have you checked with your municipality whether you´ll need a permit?

What EAC found was surface water which you can't use as Domestic Water. You need a drilling company which will find out, while drilling deep, how much useable drinking water is there. For this you need a permit before drilling. Then you need a water analysis to find out if the quality is good enough for drinking and watering plants. Costs depend how deep the bore hole is in the end.
