Bore wells in Bangalore

With Bore wells now becoming a necessity in vast area of bangalore, I felt that any information related to bore well  needs to be shared.

These are the approximate estimates :

Drilling Charge:
01. Drilling Charges 001- 250 feet------------- 56.00 Per Feet
02. Drilling Charges 251- 350 feet------------- 66.00 Per Feet
03. Drilling Charges 351- 450 feet------------- 76.00 Per Feet
04. Drilling Charges 451- 500 feet------------- 86.00 Per Feet
05. Drilling Charges 501- 600 feet------------- 101.00 Per Feet
06. Drilling Charges 601- 700 feet------------- 116.00 Per Feet
07. Drilling Charges 701- 800 feet------------- 136.00 Per Feet

Casing Pipe Cost per ft Charge:
2mm: Rs 270
2.5mm: Rs 330
3mm: Rs 390
PVC Pipe Cost per ft:
Rs 300

Other Charges:

M.S.Collar ------------- 100.00 Each
M.S.Cap ------------- 100.00 Each
Welding Charges ------------- 150.00 Per Joint
Labour Batta ------------- 300.00 Lump sum
Transportation Charges ------------- 300.00 Lump sum

 Observations: If you happen to find water at around 500 feet, the cost would be 1 Lac rupees. But as you dig deeper the cost increases.

Levels at which water is available in Bangalore :

Area	Bore-Well Depth
Vijayanagar	600-700
Rajaji Nagar	700-800
Malleshwaram	800-1000
Mahalakshmi Layout	700-800
BTM Layout	800-900
Basvangudi	500-700
Yeshwantpur	900-1100
Uttarahalli	500-600
CV Raman Nagar	1000-1200
Whitefield	1000-1200
Electronic city	500-600
HSR Layout	600-800
Yehlanka	900-1100
Marthahalli	900-1000
Banashankari	600-800
Koramangala	900-1100

The biggest trouble in suggesting depth of water source per area is lack of consistency. With in 200 meters quantum of water available changes dramatically.
In fact the chaps who dug up the bore well provide no guarantee whether water would be available and at what depth. Before going ahead you need to check with a Geologist/Geophysicist. Visit the site:

POSTING AFTER A LONG TIME:
DATE 12-JAN-2017

IN GOTTIGERE LAKE ROAD, Bannerghata road: water found from 800 feet to 1200 feet. Surprising right. Its not a flat road. From gottigere lake the road climbs up and then goes down towards doddakammanahalli lake.
