    Can a bore contractor guarantee the quality or quantity of water that a new bore will deliver? The answer is no, because the quality and quantity of water from your bore depends on the geology and hydrology of the area. Bore water comes from underground aquifers, which exist throughout the ground at different depths. These “storage spaces” contain different amounts and qualities of water. A bore contractor cannot tell you exactly how deep they will have to go to get water. A good and experienced contractor can provide an estimate based on other bores drilled in your area. In addition, a contractor cannot predict the exact quality of the water that will be tapped. What a contractor can do is make reasonable judgments about water quality and quantity based on previous experience.
