    What did you do?
    I see on the form there's an option for farm and domestic together
    Can you actually get the 75% grant if the well supplies both?
    The old well has gone to a trickle for the third dry summer in a row in this part of the southeast (hard to believe in the west I know) and burned out a motor

    Any advice appreciated thank you

    Most well drilling outfits and pump suppliers are very helpful in advising you how best to apply for these grants. They know the criteria inside out and are well used to ensuring applications are filled out correctly. I wouldn't really want to qualify my post any more than this.😉

    When we looked into it earlier in the year, if the mains was passing by your gate you were not eligible. We were going to drill a well at my dads house and send the supply down to the farm. We ended up just getting a new pump and then getting the well flushed out, will claim the vat back on these
