Following success with the implementation of the filtration system designed to remove the iron bacteria in the water, we experienced a very unexpected failure with the steel casing within which our bore pump is housed. After 35 years, the casing effectively collapsed (rusted through) necessitating the drilling of another bore hole. This has resulted in a period of a lack of irrigation and our grass turning brown.
As of last Thursday, the new bore hole was operational meaning water is now coming out of our sprinklers. We expect the grass to return to its previous lush condition in the next few weeks.
