Reliable Water in Kempton Park: A Borehole Success Story with LiquaFlo
When the Govender family in Kempton Park realized just how much their municipal water bill had spiked—and how unreliable supply had become during seasonal outages—they turned to LiquaFlo Borehole Solutions for a long-term fix. The goal? Secure, sustainable, off-grid water for their home and small vegetable garden.
“We were watering our crops at night, just to make use of municipal water when it was available,” says Mr. Govender. “It wasn’t just inconvenient, it was unsustainable.”
After a consultation and geo-survey conducted by LiquaFlo, the family decided to move forward with a complete residential borehole system tailored for long-term efficiency.

What Borehole Installation Costs in Kempton Park
Pricing for borehole drilling and installation in Kempton Park varies depending on depth, terrain, and the components required for full functionality. For the Govenders, their project involved a 60-meter borehole and a fully off-grid water solution. Here's what went into their setup:
Borehole Drilling (60m at R350/m): R21,000
Steel Casing (20m at R450/m): R9,000
PVC Casing (40m at R120/m): R4,800
Submersible Cable (75m at R50/m): R3,750
Geo Survey: R3,000
Borehole Site Establishment: R3,000
2500L Water Tank: R3,850
Borehole Pump Set: R7,000
Booster Pressure Pump: R5,000
Base Plate: R1,500
Pipes & Fittings: R4,000
Float Switch: R1,500
Borehole Cover: R1,200
Transport & Labour: R14,000

This cost is representative of a fully functional borehole system capable of providing clean, pressure-regulated water to an average home and garden.

The LiquaFlo Difference
LiquaFlo Borehole Solutions doesn’t believe in cookie-cutter setups. Every project—whether in Kempton Park, Pretoria, or Southern Johannesburg—is tailored to the unique water requirements of the property. That includes everything from the type of soil, depth of water, and daily usage needs to whether you plan on expanding your irrigation system down the line.
“We install systems that are built to last,” says Sipho, LiquaFlo’s field technician. “You’re not just getting water—you’re gaining control over it.”
All components, including the pumps and piping systems, are SABS-approved and installed with manufacturer-backed warranties. And since LiquaFlo works with licensed subcontracted drillers who follow SANS 10299:2003 standards, clients receive both peace of mind and long-term value.
From Cost to Confidence
What made the Govenders’ journey remarkable wasn’t just the installation—it was the transformation in their daily lives.
“Now we use our borehole water for everything—cooking, drinking, irrigation. It’s our main supply,” says Mrs. Govender. “And it’s ours. That’s a good feeling.”
For homeowners and small-scale growers in Kempton Park, the move toward water independence starts with knowing what to expect. LiquaFlo is here to make that process clear, cost-effective, and sustainable from day one.
