    • From the research we made on this, we found out that there are some areas in Ibadan where Heavy-duty are hardly accessible, while there are some area where the Machine are also not accessible. so because of that the rate or cost still varies. So you should be expected to spend about 200k to 300k

  11. 1. Does it matter season to drill to a borehole? ( Is there any advantage). Probably during dry season to ensure deeper and better water.
    2. If after drill a borehole it is left unused for a long time (18 months). Can it get blocked?

    Thanks.

    Reply
    • You should know that the season matters, but here is how it goes. If the drilling of borehole was carried out during the raining season – the workers may find it easy to get to the water-pot quickly (but they may not patiently dig further for clearer water. During the dry season, its hard, but water will be better. That is the reason its more costly to drill borehole during dry-season.
