Request

We understand that the Environment Agency maintain records for licensed water abstractions (typically over 20m³ per day) but for smaller water abstractions, licenses are not required by the EA, but the Local Authority are responsible for maintaining a register of such private water supplies (e.g., farmhouse boreholes, private wells, springs etc.).

Please include all details held for any abstractions, including but not limited to:

• Type of abstraction (groundwater/surface water):
• Water Abstraction rates (volumetric):
• Surface water body / groundwater unit abstracted from:
• Logs from abstraction boreholes:
• Location of abstraction point (e.g. grid reference):
• Use of abstracted water:
• Any other abstraction details:
• Details of any water quality data held for these abstractions:

Response

There are no boreholes for water extraction within 1Km of the site identified.
