Bores 14076 and 14077 were drilled and were successful. The work was carried out in December 1984 on behalf of the Department of Community Development and involved preliminary investigation, construction and testing of the production bores. HYDROGEOLOGY The area is located in the eastern part of the Wiso Basin. It is covered by the Point Wakefield Beds, underlain by the Hooker Creek Formation of Middle Cambrian age. The Point Wakefield Beds are developed as a fine, angular, well sorted sandstone and micaceous claystone. The Hooker Creek Formation is composed of a fine to medium crystalline dolomite and siltstone. Aquifers between 12m and 26m and between 48m and 53m were encountered in the Point Wakefield Beds and Hooker Creek Formation. RESULTS Two bores (14076 and 14077) were drilled and constructed with steel casing and perforations. Twenty-four hour constant discharge tests and recovery tests were conducted and water samples were taken. The water quality the Department of attached DK:JA:235 KARP: 19 is accepted for human consumption by Health. For detail information see letter.
