When residents in Hartbeespoort found themselves grappling with inconsistent municipal water supply and rising utility bills, they turned to LiquaFlo Borehole Solutions. For many, the decision wasn’t just about saving money—it was about taking control of their own water independence.
One such resident was Mr. Sibusiso Mahlangu, who owns a smallholding on the outskirts of Hartbeespoort. His farm relied heavily on municipal water, which became increasingly expensive and unreliable during the summer dry spells. Sibusiso reached out to LiquaFlo after being referred by a neighbor who had recently installed a complete borehole system through us.
“We were spending over R2,500 a month on water alone. That’s just not sustainable when you have livestock to care for and crops to water,” Sibusiso explained.
Tailored Borehole Solutions in Hartbeespoort
LiquaFlo began the project with a detailed geo-survey to identify the best drilling point. Once the site was established, the drilling began—60 meters deep at R350 per meter, bringing the borehole drilling cost to around R21,000. Additional components like steel casing (20m at R450/m = R9,000), PVC casing (40m at R120/m = R4,800), and 75m of submersible cable at R50/m added necessary durability and efficiency.
The system also included:
A submersible pump set: R7,000
Booster pressure pump set: R5,000
A 2500-liter tank: R3,850
Borehole site setup and transport: R7,000
Pipes, fittings, and float switch: Approximately R6,500
Labour: R10,000
Geo-survey and base plate: R4,500
Borehole cover: R1,200
Estimated Total Cost: R82,600
This rough breakdown reflects the average installation cost in Hartbeespoort, which can range anywhere from R10,000 for a basic shallow setup to R150,000 for a fully-equipped off-grid system like Sibusiso’s.
“What we got was more than just a borehole—it’s peace of mind.”
The turnaround time for the full installation was just under two weeks, including setup, testing, and tank integration. Since going live, Sibusiso has seen a drastic reduction in his monthly water expenses and now enjoys uninterrupted water access, regardless of load-shedding or municipal disruptions.
