Commercial Solutions

We design, fund, and operate fit-for-purpose water infrastructure that solves the exact operational risks facing medium to large-scale commercial water consumers.

Municipal Water Is Failing. Boreholes Are the Answer.

Municipal infrastructure across South Africa is deteriorating. Outages, pressure failures, and tariff spikes are now routine – and your operations pay the price.

Commercial water tariffs and outages continue to rise across major metros.

A borehole gives your property an independent, reliable water supply that bypasses the municipal grid entirely. We fund it, install it, and run it – you pay a fixed monthly rate below what you currently pay the municipality.

Core Solution

Water Security

A complete independent supply that bypasses the municipal grid entirely. Automated failover systems engage the moment pressure drops — ensuring zero operational downtime for your site.

Financial Performance

Cost Optimisation

By blending borehole supply with municipal, we reduce your aggregate cost per kilolitre – delivering measurable, predictable savings across your portfolio.

Compliance

Water Quality & Treatment

Advanced filtration, reverse osmosis, and UV treatment ensuring all borehole water meets or exceeds SANS 241 potable standards before use.

Managed Service

Ongoing Operations

Remote monitoring, scheduled servicing, and preventative maintenance – all backed by SLA. We take full accountability for system uptime so you never have to.

Based on your current water usage, your estimated municipal water cost is approximately R32 000 per month. With a borehole solution, you could save up to R16 000 monthly and R192 000 annually – actual savings vary by site.

Indicative estimate only. Figures represent potential maximum savings. Actual savings depend on site conditions, borehole yield, municipal tariffs, and system configuration – not all properties will achieve this level of saving.

Large-scale water consumers may achieve significantly higher savings depending on tariff structures and usage profiles.
