“Milford Rocks” has recently undergone a major water infrastructure upgrade and now incorporates an impressive network of gravity fed poly pipe, tanks and water troughs servicing almost the entire property. The fully equipped electric bore accesses large underground water reservoirs of exceptional quality. At a depth of 21m a Grundfos submersible delivers a reliable average flow of 71L/min. This is then pumped up to the main 320,000L holding tank at the highest point of the property, which is then distributed out to two 145,000L holding tanks adn then fed through approx 15km of high quality PPI 63mm PN8 poly pipe onto concrete troughs for livestock.
