A new town water supply well, Naracoorte no. 10, encountered permeable confined aquifer sands at 160 m depth. Subsequent testing showed the well to have a yield of from 6000 to 7000 cubic m/day at a recommended pump intake depth of 85 m, with less than 30 m drawdown over a 24 hour period. Long term testing, which could not be carried out due to noise restrictions, is recommended when the well is fitted with a submersible pump by the Engineering and Water Supply Department after June 1979. Boundary effects caused by inhomogeneities should become evident during any such testing. Water quality is similar to other town wells: total dissolved solids are 1250 mg/1, with bicarbonate levels ranging from 370-380 mg/1.
