Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register my borehole?
In Gauteng, registration is not required if the water to be used is for domestic purposes. Borehole water that is used for commercial or agricultural purposes, needs to be registered. In the Western Cape once you have drilled a borehole and water is found and utilized, the borehole needs to be registered with the Municipality. It is always good practice to check with your local authority.
Can I decided where to position my borehole?
Yes you can, however we will provide a complete assessment and recommend the position that we feel has the most potential of striking water. You can also employ the services of an independent provider who can Divine or do a Geological survey.
What if I don't strike water?
There are occasions when water is not found when drilling. There is always a risk that a well may be “dry”. In a case like this you would only pay for the site establishment , travel and the number of meters drilled.
