How much will a borehole cost?
This is always a difficult one to answer because every situation is different. However, as a guideline you can expect to pay up to £9,000 for the drilling of the borehole, which includes the installation of a pump and pressure vessel. This price assumes that “good” water is found within 20 metres. In many cases the borehole water will need treating to make it fit for the purpose to which it is going to be used. When putting together an estimate you should expect to pay anywhere in the region of £800 to £1,500 for filtration equipment. In some cases you will not need filtration at all – it all is dependent on the quality of the water.
