Title: Boreholes
Post by: biff052 on May 04, 2011, 16:09:57 PM: Hi,
Can anyone give any idea of how much it would cost to have a bore hole drilled? Any contacts details or recommendations from anyone who has had this done recently? Thanks

In the end we had a well dug and it went down just short of 10 meters. It cost including all connections 3000 TL. Over 10 meters and you will need permission. You would have to stop work and apply for permission. The Zabita werevery hot on the digging of my well. In the end a friend had a word with the mayor and we did not see them again.

Cant wait for the hubby to get in and tell him all about the boreholes on CBF.

Free Water...I was told it was illegal water...that you are supposed to declare then get it at a cheaper rate?
Though who in their right mind would do that if you can get away with it for free[?]
I'm sure there is a long queue at the Feski Office for people wishing to register...the Turkish people pushing to the front in eagerness :P

Post by: corbindallas on May 07, 2011, 08:43:37 AM: You will still pay sewage via the Council Tax but would have no Council water bill with well water used instead.
