BOREWELL DILEMMA!!!!!

[bipinchandra2n]

Dear friends,

1. Is Permission required from BWSSB to drill (i meant throwing the rules away!!!)
2. Even if permission is taken from BWSSB, they are giving permission to drill borewell of 4.5" with motor not exceeding 1 HP
Now I enquired with a lot of Drillers, they don't have 4.5" drill bit, they only have 6.00", 6.5" drill bit. How to go about the situation.
3. Is BWSSB authorization letter required to apply for a BESCOM Temporary connection .

Your reply will not only help me but also others

Regards,

Hi Bipinchandra2n,

1. BWSSB permission is required for bore well digging. I have written extensively about the procedure in one of my posts. See http://www.mybdasites.com//viewtopic.php?f=36&t=4206
2. I was told that beyond 100 ft one cannot bore with 4.5 '' drill bit. Every body is drilling with 6'' bit. I joined the masses.
3. The BWSSB permission is required for temporary BESCOM connection. I have recently applied for this with the BWSSB permission letter.

do we have to take permission from bwssb for reboring ?

@maheshvivid2003

If you have already registered your existing bore well with BWSSB, I don't think it is necessary to take permission, if not, anyway you have to register.

@ pvr59ksl
last year before this new rule we had borewell now its dry so want to drill to the next source ...we have to register or the borewell person has to do this procedures

Probably not the answer to your question, but interested to know how is this reboring procedure ? Is it expensive ? Is there any height requirement like cejja has to be this many feets above or something ? Can we reuse the electric wires and the water pipe we had used earlier ?

@maheshvivid2003,

If you already have a borewell and if you are going to rebore it, it would be better to register it as an existing well, especially if your area is getting Kaveri/Municipal water, since there is restriction for digging new borewells in areas getting Kaveri water.
The registration process is to be done by you and not by the borewell person. In the BWSSB office the registration is for (1) Existing well and (2) for New well. I didin't find anything about reboring existing wells. I believe that they cannot deny reboring for an already registered well.

Copies of certain documents are to be attached with the application form. Since mine was a new borewell I didn't go deep into the existing well registration details. The fee is Rs.50-. If you go to the BWSSB office at Jayanagar 4th block full details can be had. It will take a minimum of 3 trips to BWSSB office and 14 days for either of these registrations.

thanks @ pvr59ksl

yes we can reuse electrical wire and hdpe pipes by joining them to the new 1s and motor can be reused n it depends on the motor capacity ...we did this process for another 20 feet but no water ...rebore is the only option

i think i was cheated last time we got water at 240 feet about 2inches and then drill for 300feet i asked him to drill for another 100 feet he refused and was saying that its not possible to drill further coz of water pressure and later people say that it could cost more for borewell person like diesel and otherthings ...near my site all the borwell r dry say for 300 feet

iwhen the water pressure is high is it possible to drill more than 200 feet ?
have u guys exp anything like this

has any 1 done reboring ?
