Sturdy source of water, servant reported (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

well made

'sturdy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'source of water servant reported' is the wordplay.
'source of water' becomes 'well' (water may come from a well).
'servant' becomes 'maid' (maid is a type of servant).
'reported' shows a homophone (sound like).
'maid' is a homophone of 'made'.
'well'+'made'='WELL-MADE'

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
