We use this online tool, along with our own extensive in-house data, to determine what depth to drill new garden bores to. The depth to water in Perth is sometimes also called the depth to the watertable, the static water level, the groundwater level and the aquifer depth. We also have a comprehensive database of ground conditions, limestone, sand, clay etc all over the Perth metro area.
How deep does my water bore need to be drilled?
Submersible garden water bores are normally drilled 12 metres in to the water table in the Perth metro area. Knowing the depth to water allows us to accurately quote new water bores in advance.
