A borehole is a long, narrow shaft drilled to access underground water. A borehole pump is used to extract water from the borehole. The holes are made using a drilling rig that creates a borehole with specific dimensions so that the borehole pump can fit through with very little clearance on all sides. This also helps prevent surface contaminants from entering the borehole and protects the installed pump that is designed to pump clean water.

Garden irrigation and pool topping up is where most water is used on an urban domestic property. A borehole will save you money and add value to your property.
