How Midrand Residents Are Cutting Costs with Borehole Water

Midrand’s Water-Smart Homeowners Are Making the Switch to Boreholes


Midrand is no stranger to rising municipal water tariffs and unpredictable supply. But for some residents, the solution hasn’t just been to cope—it’s been to take control.

When Thuli Mofokeng moved into her newly built home on the outskirts of Midrand in 2023, one of her biggest concerns was water access. “We were dealing with supply issues at least once a week,” she recalls. “For a new homeowner, it was stressful. I knew I needed an alternative.”

That’s where LiquaFlo Borehole Solutions stepped in.

The Search for a Self-Sufficient Water Supply


Thuli reached out to LiquaFlo after a friend recommended their borehole installation services. What she found was a company that didn’t just offer a product—they offered a complete solution.

From geo surveying to system installation, LiquaFlo managed everything. And thanks to their transparent pricing and tailor-made approach, Thuli was able to plan her budget clearly.

Here’s a rough breakdown of her total borehole installation costs in Midrand:

Borehole Drilling (60m at R350/m): R21,000

Steel and PVC Casing: R13,800

Submersible Cable: R3,750

Geo Survey: R3,000

Pump System & Base Plate: R8,500

Tank & Booster Pressure Pump: R8,850

Other fittings, cover, float switch, labour, and transport: R23,700
Total Approximate Cost: R82,600


Costs can range from R10,000 to R150,000 depending on depth, soil, and equipment needs—but for Thuli, the long-term savings were worth it.


“I Cut My Water Bill by 70% in the First Three Months”
Thuli's borehole system now powers everything from her household taps to garden irrigation. “My municipal bill dropped drastically. And the peace of mind is priceless,” she says.

LiquaFlo’s team installed a smart purification system to ensure clean, potable water—and the entire system is solar-powered, making it a truly off-grid setup.
