Residential & Lifestyle

Private water supply, engineered for twenty years.

For estates, farms and larger homes, a private borehole turns water supply from a recurring municipal cost into a fixed asset. Done properly, it is the cheapest water you will ever buy.

The situation

Why this goes wrong for private boreholes.

A private borehole is usually treated as a one-off job — a hole in the ground with a pump in it. Treated that way it fails. Treated as an asset, with the yield tested, the pump sized properly, the water treated and the landscaping protected, it runs for decades.

How we approach it

  1. 01

    A survey that confirms the aquifer and the depth before the rig arrives.

  2. 02

    A borehole drilled with the casing schedule matched to the formation and the water chemistry.

  3. 03

    A pump selected against a confirmed duty point, sized for peak household or estate demand.

  4. 04

    Treatment specified from the water test, not assumed.

  5. 05

    A reticulation design that works with the landscape rather than cutting through it.

Before you ask

What buyers in this sector ask us first.

All frequently asked questions

Against a rising municipal tariff, yes — and it removes the risk of restriction. Against a cheap and reliable municipal connection, the maths is closer, so we will tell you honestly where that line falls.

Not if it is planned. The borehole position is chosen with the survey and the site layout together in mind, and the reticulation is designed around the landscape rather than through it.

A single residential borehole typically runs a few weeks from survey to handover once the survey is complete. We will give you a dated schedule with the quotation.
