Please I need the price of digging bore-hole for water.

This issue has been discussed several times on this forum. Last i checked it depends on your location and the quality of the work you want in addition to whether you require a storage tank.

It can range from N150,000 to N1,000,000

Thanks snowdrops. The thing pass my power.

not true. anything below 250k, you also have to consider the dept of reaching the water.

I just did a 5" bore hole for my people in the village and the contractor messed up the job. I got somebody new who did a brilliant job for me. If you care reach me on 07084699678 for his contact and I assure you you will not regret it.

Please can someone tell me the cost of digging a borehole for water in MOWE?

Any good contractor in Osun state who can dig bore-hole ?

Was in the business years back. Borehole in Lagos region cost from 120k to 250k,the formation is just loose,mostly done with HAND DRILLING. On the Island,u need to go way below 300 feet to find good water ,cost u well over 1m depending on the diameter(domestic or indusrial), U need a highly powered rig to achieve that.
Outside Lagos moving to Ibadan is a basement formatio(rocky) the average depth is (120 to 150 feets)will cost u 350k to drill. At Abeokuta u have a mixture of Sedimentary and basement depending on the depth will cost 300k to 600k .
The prices I put is excluding the pump installation


Plenty Drillers inIbadan,come pick one to do it for at Osun,take advantage that this is off season

Jeeez! If I pay 1m for borehole, will the water come out as gold?

My siblings and I are trying to dig a borehole in our family house in Lagos. We have been told that it will cost 250,000 Naira by the contractor who has handed my elder brother a quotation. I feel the actual price of digging a borehole will vary in different parts of Nigeria. Cheers.

I think you can drill one for 450k.

[b]I posted this some months ago:

We have 2 types:

1. Manual and 2. heavy duty drilling.

Manual's good, because its cheap, but it has its problem? If they hit a big rock in the buttom they cant drill through, you have to go back to getting the heavy duty drilling machine instead of the manual. And you pay for that. Meaning, youve paid double.

For manual borehole you pay at most #180,000
Heavy duty borehole drilling cost at most #400,000

extra contribution:

why a borehole and not an ordinary well?

wells are good, but not good enough because most are usually not at the aquifier zone; the place where you reach sustainable clean and fresh water. unlike boreholes, wells are not usually deep. they are mostly around 30 to 40 feet deep, unlike boreholes that goes x10 deeper in most cases. Borehole water are totally different. Sustainable, clean, and some cases not chlorinated or treated at all. And inexhaustable if well dug, unlike wells that get dried up during long dry seasons.

Best of luck finding the right borehole company, or simply get a cheap well for around 100k which will serve the same purpose, but NOTE that you cant drink well water. You can use the well, until you can later in the future get a borehole.

guys, snowdrop's very right. the price can go up to 1M or more. Like he/she said, it depends on the quality of water you want and the location. Most of the water we are consuming does not even come from the aquifer.

Is very cheap in Lagos, the one my sister told me about was about fifty thousand just to dig it without tank, so all these price people are saying here are outrageous. Though that my sister stays at Agbara, so it all depends on the area you want ot dig it too.

The manual one costs about N100k in parts of imo state .
(dug one around oct)

. . , so how much will it cost to drill a bore hole in Awoyaya, Eti-Osa LGA Lagos?

i'd say circa N200k
(manual)

Nice one my brother. People scream when they hear 1 million as if everyone lives in Lagos, want a shoddy job or want borehole for solely for personal use.

even in Lagos, you still drill expensive boreholes. you'll notice the heavy treatment of water in Lagos cos most boreholes dont even get near to the aquifer. everything na money,

i once use piss dig ground, oil plus water erupt. give me the gps position of your place make i try am again.

lol. . . .


@poster, depend on ur location. Like in Kaduna where i sometime base, u having N160,000 to 200,00, u r sure having a good borehole in system. if u r in south south, N100,000.

sulad82i:

YES. It will come out as gold and if u pay 1.5m, then expect diamond. lol

I did one for my crib,cost of drilling only 25K,mind you its Delta state

cost of 1.5hp sumo,
cost of labour,
other materials etc
Estimated total cost equals 100-120k,delta state

It seems some people dig wells and call it boreholes

I know what you are thinking, its too cheap,mind you mine was done in Delta state, took less than 2 hrs to do,cos ground water is not that far plus it was done manualy by just 5 guys,the 25k is inclussive of labour and renting of equipments and transport,I even took pics of how they where doing it lol

Good on you then. Is it still working ok?

snowdrops:

ah what do you mean by is it stil working, I think you are getting this al totally wrong, what in your own opinion DO YOU THINK COULD GO WRONG WITH IT?,just asking so I know we are both talking about same thing.

Dont read any meaning to my question. I was not trying to be sarcastic. 25,000 for a borehole including labour, even in delta state sounded cheap. So i was only curious to know if that amount was sufficient the quality of work needed.

Did mine for 120k for my ikorodu home includes 1.5hp pump and installation etc

you have answered my question, now,that cost N25K only include labour and the pipe plus stop valves,by the time I bought the Tank N18K,scafolder n17K and pumping maching N17K and that labour, the price got up to N77k plus, and like I said earlier we are close to Sea level,we found water within erm I cant tell but its a full lenght of that PVC pipe and a quater,now how many mitres is that?
