BOREHOLE LOCATION: WHERE SHOULD A BOREHOLE BE PLACED?

One of the best investments you’ll make right now is drilling your own borehole.  It offers so many wonderful benefits. You will have water security and cut down on your water bill to name just a few benefits.  In these uncertain times, it’s essential to know that you will have your own water source. However, as you consider this you may also be wondering about the borehole location on your property.

It’s a valid and pertinent question and you need to keep the following questions in mind:

1. IS MY PROPERTY LOCATED IN A BOREHOLE AREA?

The first place to start is to check if your property is located in a borehole area.  Some areas are wellpoint areas so you may have the option of just drilling a wellpoint to access your underground water. However, it’s best to check first. Your borehole contractor will be able to advise you as he will be familiar with the borehole areas in Cape Town.

2. WHICH AREA IS MOST ACCESSIBLE TO THE DRILLING RIG?

This is an important question to ask when deciding on your borehole location. The borehole rig is large and will need to be placed in an area that will be easy to reach.  Most residential properties have fencing or brick walls which can make gaining access a little tricky.  So keep this in mind when deciding on your borehole location. However, don’t fear if you can’t find somewhere suitable as the borehole can always be drilled at the start of the driveway or in the middle of the driveway.

Everyone is looking for ways to save money these days and what better way than to reduce your monthly water bill.  As a result, you can use the borehole water in your home, run your irrigation with it and even fill your swimming pool too! It’s such a win-win!
