Username John wrote: » Maybe so, altho I was kinda happy enough with it then to be honest... Is the reason you are going to the trouble of taking it from the council, cos the water from your well is too hard, and causes problems? Or where you want to put the paddocks is not accessible by your own pump water? I wont advocate stealing (even if its water) But if you gave a bit more info, maybe people could offer their suggestions / opinions (like Reilg above)

reilig wrote: » I think you're mad! Paying that for a few drinkers for paddocks?? Have you got any low points in your fields where you could dig down a large corri pipe and then just hook a moveable pasture pump to it. Or if you have a stream or a drain close by, dig the corri pipe into it, good and deep and just let the pasture pump suck it out. Unless you live in an area that suffers from extreme drought, this is your best and cheapest option!!
