Maybe you could install a boar?

Make sure you get one with plenty of grunt.

Maybe Pork Hunt can do mate’s rates?

Sorry, only deal with kosher or halal oinkers…

Sow, have you got an engineer to pen it in yet?

Bloody hell that’s bad.

How far down is the water table if you dig a hole?

That would be a pig of thing to maintain.

Have you definitely ruled out a leak? It’s amazing how much water a tiny pinhole in a 1/2″ or 3/4″ pipe or irritation conduit can let go.
Turn all of your water consuming fixtures off within the house & then check your water meter to see if it is still registering usage. If the little dials on the meter are still turning, then you have a leak….. somewhere!
Just a thought Good luck.

Grow rice?

Why is so much water entering your property? Any chance thqt there’s an underground pupe leaking off your property?

Sorry if its a dumb idea but could there be a spring that has become more active since the drought broke? I remember springs on the hillside near here being mentioned at one of those land release community consultation thingies and I wondered at the time how do they find them and what if someone somehow builds on one.

Not a dumb idea at all. But who do I go to to establish if a spring exists? I referred to water entering the block from the side. This flowed at 30 litres an hour prior to the drought, but the drainage put in place seems to have controlled the flow. This water is about 5 foot below the moist soil, and 10 metres away, across a large brick garage/workshop.

I’m gaining the impression that hydraulic engineers find domestic problems such as mine are in the too hard basket.
