Our borehole experts are here to handle everything you need for a successful drilling project.
A borehole is a narrow, deep hole drilled into the ground to access underground water sources, such as aquifers. In South Africa, boreholes are commonly used for domestic water supply, agriculture, and industrial purposes, especially in areas with water shortages.
Boreholes are vital in South Africa due to frequent water restrictions, droughts, and an increasing demand for water. They provide a reliable, independent water source, especially in rural areas or regions with limited municipal water supply.
In South Africa, the cost varies depending on factors like location, depth, and soil type. Typically, it ranges between R20,000 and R100,000, including drilling, casing, pump installation, and testing. Additional costs for filtration systems or water storage tanks may apply.
The depth of boreholes in South Africa depends on the region and geology. In areas like Gauteng or the Western Cape, depths typically range from 30m to 200m, with deeper boreholes often required in water-scarce regions.
Yes, in most cases. South Africa’s National Water Act requires that borehole owners register their boreholes with the Department of Water and Sanitation. If you plan to extract large amounts of water, additional water-use licenses may be required.
Borehole water can be safe to drink, but it must be tested for contaminants such as heavy metals, bacteria, or nitrates. Regular testing and proper filtration systems are essential to ensure water quality, especially in areas with mining activity or industrial pollution.
Regular maintenance includes:
- Annual water quality testing.
- Servicing the pump and inspecting the casing.
- Cleaning the borehole to prevent sediment buildup.
- Monitoring for changes in water yield, which could indicate a need for deeper drilling.
Yes, borehole water is not subject to municipal water restrictions in South Africa. However, many municipalities encourage responsible use, and some require boreholes to display “Non-potable water” signage if used for irrigation or non-drinking purposes.
- Independence: Reliable water source during municipal outages or restrictions.
- Savings: Reduces long-term municipal water bills.
- Sustainability: Provides water for irrigation, agriculture, and daily use without over-relying on municipal resources.
- Dry holes: There’s no guarantee of finding water, especially in arid regions.
- Contamination: Proximity to mines or industrial areas can affect water quality.
- Legal compliance: Failing to register or obtain the necessary permits can result in penalties.
