A Bit About Us
No Project Too Big Or Too Small
BDC brings with it a rich history of experience in the water supply industry. In the early years of the 1990s and 2000s, the main focus of the company was the rural water supply. We manufactured our own rural water handpump and installed it in rural areas. BDC worked hand in hand with well-known NGOs like Oxfam, CARE, and UNICEF to bring much-needed safe, potable water to poverty-stricken and inaccessible communities.
Today BDC provides water solutions to the domestic and commercial markets. The company brings with it all the experience and expertise from the early days and works within the framework of international standards.

What Are The Benefits of a Borehole
There are many reasons why residential homeowners choose to invest in borehole drilling on their properties:-
- If your municipality is unable to provide you with water then a borehole can give you direct access to water
- Clean, potable borehole water means that you have water independence from municipal sources and you can go off the grid.
- With a borehole you say goodbye to frustrating water cuts, municipal disruptions and water rationing during times of drought.
- With a borehole on your property, you will save money every day by reducing your municipal bill and will increase the value of your property.
- Water from your own borehole is not treated with chemicals so there is no added fluoride or chlorine. In fact, most of the bottled water available from the shops comes from boreholes.
- A borehole also reduces your carbon footprint
- A borehole also keep the garden beautifully green and luscious even in a drought.
What can I use borehole water for?
Borehole water can be used once the borehole installation has been completed and the water has been tested. You will be informed if it is suitable to fill your pool. It is important to test the water as unsuitable water can stain your pool.
The safest way to use bore water is to irrigate the garden, flush toilets, and wash cars and clothes. Before using borehole water for drinking, bathing, filling swimming, and paddling pools, food preparation, or cooking unless it should be professionally tested and treated if necessary.
Do I Need Approval to Install a Borehole?
If you are only going to use your borehole for domestic purposes (garden & household use) then no approval is required. If the water is going to be used in a manufacturing process (such as making Coca-Cola) and farming then it will require approval.
Do I need to register my borehole?
Currently, the national water act classifies residential boreholes as Schedule 1 and no formal approval is required. litersSchedule 1 has a limit of 10 000 liters extracted from the borehole daily.
Commercial and Business boreholes will need to be registered with the Department of Water and water use license
We do assist homeowners and commercial businesses with registration services.
Is borehole water safe to drink?
The short answer is YES in most cases.
All spring and most bottled water that you buy is water that comes from the ground.
If you are going to drink the water (64% of South Africans survive on groundwater!) then it is a good idea to have it analyzedAfricans survive at a water lab. A simple SABS-241 test will confirm if it is potable or not. Water must be ‘potable’—which is to say of safe, drinkable quality.
Drinking water quality is always assessed by a laboratory analysis after the well is drilled. We would always recommend this. In many cases, the water will require no treatment. However, if there is any evidence of bacterial contamination, an ultraviolet (UV) sterilization unit and pre-filter can be installed. This uses UV light to kill the bacteria and make the water safe. Unlike chemical purification methods, this does not taint the water. If the water is turbid—muddy or cloudy with suspended particles—in-line filters will remove the problem to provide you with good clear water.
However, in any situation where the general public is likely to drink water from your supply, we suggest that you install UV sterilization: In this litigious age, it is important that you can demonstrate that you have taken all possible steps to eliminate possible risks
Do I Need to Treat my Garden Bore Water?
It is not usually necessary to treat your bore water providing it:
- Has a pH greater than 5;
- Is colorless and odorless; and
- Will only be used to water the garden, wash cars, and flush toilets.
