Borehole Installation Costs and Customer Insights in Edenvale

Turning Dry Lawns into Independent Water Sources in Edenvale

In the heart of Edenvale, where municipal water restrictions and rising bills are becoming more common, homeowners and small businesses are starting to take matters into their own hands. For many, a borehole installation has gone from a nice-to-have to a must-have — and LiquaFlo Borehole Solutions is right there to meet that need with dependable, cost-effective systems.

Just ask Mr. Luthando M., a property owner in Edenvale who reached out to LiquaFlo in early 2024. After battling inconsistent water supply for over a year, he decided it was time to take full control. “I needed a long-term solution that didn’t tie me to the municipality,” he explained. “LiquaFlo made the whole process seamless, from the geo-survey to installing the tank and pressure pumps.”

A Look at Borehole Costs in Edenvale

When it comes to drilling and installing a complete borehole system in Edenvale, there’s no one-size-fits-all. Costs vary depending on site conditions, water depth, and whether the customer opts for advanced features like purification systems or solar-powered pumps. That said, here’s a breakdown of what a typical 60m borehole installation might cost:

Borehole drilling at 60m averages around R21,000

Steel casing for 20m can cost R9,000

PVC casing for the remaining 40m is around R4,800

Submersible cable at 75m length may cost R3,750

Geo-surveying before drilling: R3,000

A 2500-liter tank: R3,850

Site establishment and preparation: R3,000

Borehole pump set: R7,000

Base plate, pipes, fittings, and booster pump: Around R10,500

Some installations may go as high as R150,000 if you’re including purification systems, solar upgrades, or deeper drilling (common in rockier areas of Edenvale).

Why Edenvale is Embracing Boreholes

The shift toward off-grid water solutions in Edenvale isn’t just about independence — it’s also about long-term savings. With water prices increasing year after year, boreholes provide residents and business owners peace of mind and a reliable backup during shortages or maintenance shutdowns by the city.

Mrs. Gertrude K., who runs a garden service in Eastleigh, Edenvale, saw her business flourish after installing a LiquaFlo system. “We no longer rely on the municipality to keep our gardens green,” she said. “It paid for itself in just under two years.”

LiquaFlo’s Role in Every Drop

Every LiquaFlo installation begins with a detailed site assessment and geo-survey. From there, the team recommends a customized setup that fits the client’s needs, whether it’s for a large garden, home, or business. Borehole drilling is handled by trusted subcontractors compliant with SABS SANS 10299-:2003, while LiquaFlo handles everything else — pumps, tanks, purification systems, and maintenance.

“Our mission is to offer water solutions that are built to last,” said a spokesperson from LiquaFlo. “Edenvale clients appreciate that we’re not just selling pumps — we’re creating water independence.”
