South Australian Bores: Routine Maintenance Advice

Based on the Landscape South Australia bore maintenance page (SA Arid Lands focus).

Simple, routine maintenance reduces risks to water supply and avoids costly and inconvenient breakdowns. It also extends a bore's working life.
The page says stock and domestic water may be taken only if the system is a water-tight delivery system: a self-enclosed, piped reticulation with no leaks, including within the well headworks. It ties this to the Far North Prescribed Wells Water Allocation Plan, with closed-system licence conditions elsewhere in the SA Arid Lands region.
The occupier or lessee of the land is responsible for maintaining the well under the Landscape South Australia Act 2019, per the page.
The page points to a Bore Maintenance Handbook and a bore maintenance sheet that can be used to advise the Water Resource Monitoring Unit (the page presents this as an option, not a mandatory submission).

Not verified: handbook contents, licence conditions for your area, and rules outside South Australia. Pump and pipework checks should be done by a qualified person.
