Boreholes
Boreholes offer significant advantages to businesses by eliminating seasonal uncertainties when it comes to their water. Owning a private water supply is a cost effective solution during harsh winters and prolonged hot summers, ensuring your business remains operational all year round.
How Source for Business can help
Our team assess each businesses individual requirements. Water borehole drilling can protect a business dealing with an unreliable supply. By reducing reliance on mains water supplies, boreholes provide water at a considerably lower cost with minimal environmental impact. Extracting up to 20,000 litres per day doesn’t require a licence, potentially resulting in savings of £23,000 per year (*).
However, it’s important to remember the drilling process for borehole installation which may disrupt business operations for a period. Once drilled, there are also ongoing maintenance costs. Gaining access to a water source may also require additional services, such as geotechnical site investigations. These initial and ongoing costs are often outweighed by future savings.
(*) Estimated cost savings may vary based on individual circumstances.
Return on investment
With a return on your initial investment possible within two years, even disused wells and springs on farms can be rejuvenated to provide additional drinking water supply options.
Whilst you don’t need to own the land, you do need to obtain landowners permissions before surveying or drilling takes place.
Water boreholes can be drilled anywhere where there is sufficient underground water to extract.
