Why Install A Borehole In Your Property?

A water borehole, also known as waterwell boreholes, is a great way to access natural and pure underground water. It is a small narrow and open shaft that is drilled both vertically and horizontally into the ground to provide access to the water table below. 

It provides you with your own private water supply, and this not only saves you money but also avoiding water authority restrictions during droughts, adding value to your property and reducing your carbon emissions.

Some Of The Key Advantages Of Water Boreholes:

• Water derived from a borehole is of high quality. The water is free of added chemicals, rich in minerals and micro-organisms. Households with boreholes are self-reliant; they find out and manage their water usage. In addition to this, they also do not have to adhere to municipal water restrictions.
  
  
• Water from a Bore Hole Cape Town is available 24 hours. In rural areas, people are responsible for collecting water, and they benefit by having a borehole because it lightens the burden of carrying water over long distances, reduces the danger of having to walk alone to get water and saves time and energy.
  
  
• Boreholes are also beneficial to agricultural projects, construction projects as well as farming activities.  Water is used for irrigation,  parks and gardens, livestock, for crops and construction purposes.

Households with piped water often use up to 45% of their water consumption on irrigating the garden. Remember using municipal water for the purposes of irrigation is a waste of potable water. You can save money on your water bills by using groundwater for irrigation while decreasing the demand on the municipal water supply as well. Municipalities use their tariff rates that increase in proportion to usage and it has a big impact on the water bill.

Let’s look at the costs involved in installing a borehole and even maintaining it in an office block with a garden and then in a residential property. There are major expenditures associated with installing a borehole.

• Site selection cost to find out whether and where to locate a groundwater production borehole.
  
  
• Also, the borehole construction cost for drilling per-hour of drilling, mobilization of equipment and tools to site and back to base, casing entailing supply & installation of solid casing and screen, sanitary seal, well-head construction, gravel pack and well development entailing cleaning of the borehole after construction.
  
  
• The cost of Hydrochemical analysis (one of the most important aspects in groundwater studies) of water quality testing for the intended use. The cost of Pumping test for post-construction assessment of borehole as well as aquifer performance. The installation cost for a pump or potable water storage tank plus the reticulation system. Electricity costs for running the pump and Maintenance costs for yearly checks to the pumping equipment &b tools, pipework as well as repairs should there be any failures.
