Looking to drill a 10,000-liter capacity borehole in Nigeria? Boreholes are an excellent solution for ensuring a steady water supply for homes, businesses, farms, and industries. However, several factors influence the cost of drilling a borehole of this size. Here’s what you should know to make an informed decision and get the best value for your investment.
1. Location – Key Factor for Pricing
Where you want to drill the borehole significantly impacts the overall cost. Nigeria’s diverse geography means that some regions have more accessible underground water, while others are more challenging to drill through. Here’s how it breaks down:
- Lagos and Ogun States: These coastal areas may have softer soils, making drilling easier. Costs in these regions generally range from ₦500,000 to ₦1.5 million.
- Northern Nigeria: Due to its rocky terrain and deeper water tables, drilling here can be more expensive, often reaching ₦2 million or more.
- Eastern and Middle Belt Areas: These areas, especially the Niger Delta, might have swampy or difficult terrains that also push costs higher.
Pro tip: Before you commit, it’s crucial to get a professional geological survey of your location. Borehole.com.ng can assist with this as part of our package to ensure we understand your location before providing an accurate quote.
2. Depth of Borehole
The depth required to access water will directly impact costs. A 10,000-liter borehole typically requires a well depth ranging from 50 to 150 meters, depending on the water table.
- A shallow borehole (around 30-50 meters) might cost between ₦500,000 to ₦1 million.
- For deeper boreholes (100-200 meters), especially in areas with lower water tables, expect to pay from ₦1.5 million to ₦3 million.

3. Type of Borehole
There are two main types of boreholes you can choose from:
- Manual Boreholes: Suitable for shallow depths and softer soils, manual drilling is cheaper, typically costing around ₦500,000 to ₦800,000.
- Machine-Drilled Boreholes: For deeper water tables or harder rock formations, machine drilling is necessary. This method is more expensive but provides long-lasting and reliable access to water. Costs for machine drilling can range from ₦1.5 million to ₦3 million.
For a large capacity like 10,000 liters, machine drilling is often required to ensure consistent water flow, especially for commercial use.
4. Borehole Accessories and Setup
Beyond the drilling itself, you need to budget for essential borehole accessories. These include:
- Submersible pumps: Essential for drawing water from deep boreholes. Costs can range from ₦100,000 to ₦500,000, depending on the brand and capacity.
- Water tanks: To store your 10,000 liters of water, you’ll need a suitable water tank, which costs between ₦200,000 to ₦350,000.
- Pipes and Plumbing Work: This can add an additional ₦100,000 to ₦200,000, depending on the distance from the borehole to your home or facility.
- Filtration and Water Treatment Systems: Depending on the quality of water in your area, you may need a filtration or water treatment system. These range from ₦150,000 to ₦500,000, depending on the complexity.

5. Water Treatment and Purification
Water quality in Nigeria varies, and even though borehole water is often clean, it still requires treatment for it to be safe for consumption. Water treatment systems can range from ₦100,000 to ₦500,000, depending on the complexity needed.
