How Much Does It Cost to Drill a Borehole?
The deeper your water supply, the greater the cost of accessing it and then creating a safe borehole for long-term use. Water borehole drilling cost per metre will vary, but assuming your water lies at the average Zimbabwe borehole depth of 60 metres, you can expect to pay between $2000.00USD to $3000.00USD for a professional to install your borehole.
This includes a Hydrogeologist’s Survey, the cost of drilling the borehole, installing a pump, and pressure vessel. The cost of drilling a water borehole on your property will rise depending on how far the water needs to travel from the source to where you need it. The further it needs to go, the more pipework and groundwork you will require, plus you will probably need a more powerful pump.
Ultimately, the greatest cost is the drilling and creation of your borehole. This cost will depend on where you are in Zimbabwe, which is why it’s a great idea to get a quote from a locally recommended tradesperson.

If you are right at the start of your borehole project, it pays to understand all the costs involved, beyond simply drilling a borehole. You will need a Geological Survey, first of all, to determine the depth at which your water source is likely to lie.
