Having a borehole might be perhaps the best investment you will make in increasing the value of your property and being water independent.

However, a borehole can also be a burden with its repetitive maintenance, and the inability to yield the amount of water and quality you require.

The Standard Borehole Depth in Zimbabwe is drilled to a minimum of 40 metres down and 140mm wide. Sometimes, the Borehole Drilling Company may choose to quit drilling before getting to 100 metres if they hit the water and the dirt arrangement shows dust which may hinder the fracture zones (the splits in the stone where the water streams into the well or the way from where the water enters the well) or because of poor water quality. 

However, there is no scientific proof of this claim.

Notwithstanding, sometimes, the circumstance allows such practice; if the formation beneath the crack zone is frail, weak or muddy and could collapse the well, or if the geophysical examination shows that there is no other fracture underneath that point.

Despite this fact, it is prudent not to drill noting less than 60 metres regardless of what level the driller hit the water. Furthermore, it is likewise prudent to bore up to the standard depth in any event, even when the fracture zone is at 30 meters, the remainder of the 70 metres will fill in as a supply to store water, however, this is most conceivable when the soil formation is hard rock.

It is important to get an experienced drilling company, geologist or geophysicist to deal with your borehole drilling because the success of the well relies significantly upon the supervisor who can serve as a geologist or an accomplished driller to screen the boring procedure to settle on the correct choice on when to stop and when not to stop, the supervisor chooses the development technique, the materials to be utilized and for to what extent the driller is to blow the borehole to get clear water, without debris, residue, and sand.

Standard Rates In Zimbabwe (Updated 2023):

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. 

With this information, your recommended tradesperson can give you an indicative idea of the cost for the creation of a safe-to-use borehole. This Will Typically Include:

STAGE ONE: Borehole Siting or Geological Survey.
Around Harare: $80.00
Outside Harare: $150.00
Deep Rural: $200.00

STAGE TWO: Borehole Drilling and Casing (Standard 40 Metres)
Around Harare: $1100.00
Outside Harare: $1300.00
Deep Rural: $1500.00

- Extra Metres: $30.00USD per metre.
- Double Casing: $35.00USD per metre.

NB: Double Casing is done depending on the formation of the ground if the formation is good it is done only up to 6 metres.

STAGE THREE: Borehole Installation Options.

Option A: Solar Powered Borehole Installation.
Around Harare: (0.5HP Pumping System) $1400.00
Outside Harare: (0.5HP Pumping System) $1500.00

Includes: Solar Pump, Solar Panels, Solar Pump Controller, Combine Box, AC Cable, Frame, Pipe and Fitting. (Within 20 metres radius)

Borehole Drilling in Zimbabwe:

The drilling of a borehole for groundwater supply entails three phases namely:
  1. Exploration
  2. Drilling and construction
  3. Pump acquisition and installation with transmission pipes
After successful drilling, construction and development of the borehole, the appropriate submersible pump and accessories are acquired and installed on the borehole. Pipes and cables are connected from the pump in the hole to an overhead storage tank where the groundwater will be used as flow by gravity to the points of use.

This phase also involves some plumbing works to connect pipes to the storage tank.
