Off-Grid Success in Boksburg: A Complete Borehole System for Less Than You Think
When energy costs rise and municipal water becomes unreliable, more South Africans are turning to boreholes. And in Boksburg, Gauteng, it’s becoming more than a trend—it’s a transformation.
One local resident, Thabiso M., made the move after multiple water outages in their area disrupted their family’s daily life. “It started with just wanting backup water,” Thabiso says, “but LiquaFlo showed us that we could have full control over our water supply.”
From Water Woes to Independence
Thabiso reached out to LiquaFlo Borehole Solutions after hearing about their expertise from a neighbor. Within days, a geo survey was conducted to determine the best drilling point on their Boksburg property. The survey confirmed a reliable underground source at about 60 meters deep.
LiquaFlo coordinated a full borehole installation, handling everything from drilling and casing to pumps, cabling, purification and pressure systems. Every component was carefully selected based on Thabiso’s needs—and the result was a completely independent water system.
What It Really Costs to Install a Borehole in Boksburg
While many people assume borehole systems are unaffordable, Thabiso’s total project came in at just over R82,000. That covered everything from site establishment to the pressure pump system, including:
Drilling (60m at approx. R350/m): R21,000
Steel and PVC casing: R13,800
Geo survey: R3,000
Submersible pump, booster pump, base plate and float switch: R14,500
Cabling and piping: R7,750
Tank (2,500L): R3,850
Labour, fittings, transport, and site prep: R18,000
Depending on the water depth and the customer’s exact needs, borehole systems in Boksburg range from R10,000 to R150,000. Thabiso’s installation hit the sweet spot of quality and affordability.
The Bigger Impact
For Thabiso’s family, the benefits were instant. “We’re no longer at the mercy of water cuts,” he explains. “Our kids can bathe, our garden thrives, and we even save on our monthly utility bills.”
LiquaFlo also ensured the system included filtration for safe drinking water. “We wanted something sustainable, and now we feel like we’re investing in our home’s future, not just reacting to a crisis.”
