CBJ Drilling Services brings over 55 years of combined experience to the Mudgee region, offering specialised water bore drilling for rural, residential, and commercial clients. As a family-owned operation spanning three generations, we’re focused on delivering dependable groundwater access for farms, vineyards, sporting fields, hospitals, and homes.

FAQschevron down

Why do I Require a Licenced Driller?

In all states and territories, water drillers are required to be licensed. A driller should be able to provide references and produce a licence endorsed to cover the procedures necessary to complete your bore. Being licensed ensures that the driller and the company are accountable for the workmanship. With a licence should come many years of experience in bore construction. Using an unlicensed driller can result in irreparable damage to aquifers and the environment.


How Do I Purchase a Pump for My Bore?

Once invoicing is finalised, we will forward your Form A documents to you. These documents are then taken to your preferred supplier who will tailor make the pump to your needs. You can only purchase a pump for your bore once you have these documents.


Why Choose CBJ Drilling Services Over Any Other Company?

We're 100% family-owned and operated company with over 55 years of combined experience in water drilling. This ensures our customers receive only the very best. We are present from the initial consultation to the bore construction completion. We do not send inexperienced drillers bearing our name to complete this very important task. Our word-of-mouth reputation is our best advertisement, and we invite you to ask around before deciding to do business with us.


How Long Does it Take to Get My Licence Approved & How Much Will My Licence Be?

Your approval from Water NSW for a stock and domestic bore can take from 1 day to 1 month depending on your individual licencing requirements. Irrigation licences will take longer. Pricing for a stock & domestic bore licence can vary and it is best to check on the Water NSW website . These prices can change without notice. You must supply all the requested information to speed up your application.
