Somerset East Borehole Drilling — Upper Karoo

Somerset East nestles below the Boschberg mountain in the upper Karoo, a region of dry winters and summer rainfall where groundwater is a critical resource for farmers and townspeople alike. The Boschberg's Table Mountain Group sandstone provides natural recharge while dolerite sills and dykes create productive aquifer fracture zones across the valley floor.

Common Questions

Borehole Drilling FAQs — Somerset East

Does Everest serve Somerset East and the surrounding farms?

Yes — Somerset East and the wider upper Karoo farming district are within our Eastern Cape service area.

How deep are boreholes near Somerset East?

Valley floor boreholes typically yield at 40–100m in dolerite-intruded Karoo sediments. Boschberg foothill boreholes may access TMG sandstone aquifer at 60–130m.

Can a borehole supply water for a Somerset East farm during drought?

Borehole water from deep artesian or fractured rock sources is far more drought-resistant than surface dams. We recommend a geophysical survey to identify the best aquifer target.
