Farm water solutions: Reliable water across 208 hectares

Farm water solutions can look very different from one property to the next, particularly when you’re managing livestock across 208 hectares.

At this property in Condah Swamp, having a reliable water source across the farm was the priority.

The existing setup wasn’t working as well as it needed to. The bore wasn’t operating to its full capacity, while the existing troughs and windmills were also in need of attention.

The goal was straightforward: create a reliable water source across the property for livestock, while providing the ability to support increased livestock numbers in the future.

The challenge

On a property this size, the water system needs to do an important job.

With the bore not working to its full capacity and the troughs and windmills also needing attention, improving the reliability of livestock water across the property was the focus.

It’s also a good example of why farm water isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every property has a different layout, existing infrastructure and different demands on its water supply.

Supporting the property into the future

The new setup will provide a more reliable water source for livestock across the property.

Importantly, it also provides the ability to support increased livestock numbers in the future, giving the property greater capacity as its needs change.

Sometimes that’s exactly what a farm water upgrade needs to achieve: fix the challenges that are happening now while making sure the system is better placed to support what comes next.

Farm water solutions with Finchetts

For the Finchetts farm water team, the conversation starts with understanding the property and what the water system needs to achieve.

Whether an existing system is no longer doing the job, livestock water is unreliable or there are plans to improve how water is managed across the property, our team can help work through the options available.

For this project, the feedback was just as important as the finished result. The project team said they were very happy with their experience working with Finchetts, particularly the communication throughout the project and the team involved.
