Morning,

Sorry for the delay in responding.
Garry has confirmed the No 8 wire is just used for dowsing, no other method.

Dear Hayley Burgess,

There is a little ambiguity in the response provided and I would like to clarify this point.

Can you please clarify that the use of No 8 wire in locating laterals is by using the wire for dowsing, or by some other method.

Ngā mihi nui,
