We have started digging this well in Enugu, people call this the "manual borehole"

spyder880: Mr Spyder, why chosing this method of drilling borehole? I thought there is a drilling machine for this? Just curious- |
Re: The Posh 6 Flats Of 3 Bedrooms Block Of Flats In Enugu, The Construction Process by spyder880(m): 6:15am On Mar 12, 2023 |
Badgers14: In this environment, its almost impossible to get water with a drilling rig as done in other places. Enugu urban has a different type of land which makes it difficult to do the type of borehole you suggested. |
Re: The Posh 6 Flats Of 3 Bedrooms Block Of Flats In Enugu, The Construction Process by Badgers14: 6:23am On Mar 12, 2023 |
spyder880: Ok, thanks for your clarification. I was just wondering if the bare knuckle drilling is best practice. Thanks again |

Badgers14: Enugu has a very deep water table, the depth one has to dig to get water is too deep. We can get good ground water after doing 90 feet in Awka, 70 feet in Owerri or Aba, 70 feet in PH, but Enugu may take up to 800 feet before you get that type of water. To add to the problem, Enugu has a lot of lump stones and hard ground, clay and shale mixtures that makes digging with a mounted drill a nightmare. Many people who can afford to spend good money to do the type of borehole we usually do in Owerri has not succeeded in doing so in Enugu, because the chances of getting good water after drling to such depth is very low. That's why we have resorted to this type, we expect to get to 150 feet depth, then cast the well with concrete before installing a submersible pump and connecting same to the tanks. Happy Sunday everyone. 4 Likes |

spyder880: Happy Sunday to you too Sir... So, what is the estimated cost of digging a borehole in Enugu 1 Like |
Re: The Posh 6 Flats Of 3 Bedrooms Block Of Flats In Enugu, The Construction Process by spyder880(m): 1:27pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
redgem: For a motorised drilling rig, you may spend up to 6 to 7 million naira, but you are not guaranteed to get good water, apart from Ninth mile, and a few pockets of lands around Enugu Urban, especially around streams and lakes, you may never strike good water for all your efforts. For the manual borehole which I am currently doing, the average cost is N2 million naira. We are doing this for N1.9m, I got quotes for as high as 2.4m from other people who do this same work. Thanks. |

spyder880: Wow....one really need to be wealthy to be able to afford water in Enugu... |
Re: The Posh 6 Flats Of 3 Bedrooms Block Of Flats In Enugu, The Construction Process by spyder880(m): 2:01pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
redgem: Not necessarily, I spent only about 200k or less to have steady water from my shallow 40 foot well, clean water for 7 months in every year. That's the one most people use in Enugu. When you see people doing this deep manual type, then it must be for a residential house. I have also seen single families do this deep type in my neighborhood. |

spyder880:Na wa oh...borehole that we drill for just 60k in my neck of the woods, others are spending millions for. We are really privileged down here with regards to water, I swear. |
Re: The Posh 6 Flats Of 3 Bedrooms Block Of Flats In Enugu, The Construction Process by redgem(f): 6:01pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
spyder880: Meaning you pay 200k for water every 7 months...like they pump into a well for you? Or how is it done? |
Re: The Posh 6 Flats Of 3 Bedrooms Block Of Flats In Enugu, The Construction Process by spyder880(m): 11:27pm On Mar 12, 2023 |
kopell: redgem: Nooooo I paid 70k to dig a well since 2016, bought submersible pump with 45k, paid well diggers for plastering, bought cement, sand and well cover, paid for pipes and plumbing, altogether, about N200,000. Then I haven't spent any other money on the maintenance of the well since 2016 that I moved into the house. Since then I haven't spent a dime on the well, but I get steady water supply pumped up my overhead tank for 7 months out of 12 months in a year. I only buy water from January till March each year when the well dried up. Enugu water is not costly. 1 Like |
