If you're building or buying property in East Legon, Trasacco Valley, Airport Residential, or Cantonments from outside Ghana, you already understand something important: in these neighbourhoods, a borehole isn't a luxury add-on — it's an expected feature. Property listings in East Legon routinely list "Ghana Water & Borehole Water Available" as a standard selling point, because reliable water supply matters as much to buyers here as anywhere else in the world.
Areas We Serve
East Legon
Including East Legon Hills and Adjiringanor — Ghana's most established premium residential corridor.
Trasacco Valley
Gated estate community off the Accra-Tema Motorway, home to diplomats and international professionals.
Airport Residential
Close to Kotoka International Airport — a long-standing expatriate and diplomatic residential area.
Cantonments
Established diplomatic quarter with some of Accra's oldest embassy residences.
Why This Region Needs Careful Siting
Accra sits on coastal sedimentary geology — generally shallower drilling than inland Ghana, but not uniform. Depth and yield can genuinely vary between adjoining plots depending on the local aquifer structure, which is exactly why a proper site assessment matters even in an established, well-understood residential corridor like East Legon.
What It Costs — In Terms You Can Plan Around
We quote in Ghanaian Cedi (GHS), since that's the currency your contractor and the WRC permit process operate in — but here's roughly what that means in the currencies most of our overseas clients think in:
| Service | GHS Price | Approx. USD | Approx. GBP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Site Assessment | From GH₵1,000 | ~$90 | ~£70 |
| Complete Borehole Drilling | GH₵12,000–35,000 | ~$1,050–$3,050 | ~£820–£2,400 |
| Solar Borehole System | From GH₵25,000 | ~$2,175 | ~£1,715 |
| Contractor Overseeing | From GH₵2,000 | ~$175 | ~£135 |
USD/GBP figures are approximate and move with the exchange rate daily — we confirm the exact GHS price in writing before any work begins, and you can convert it yourself at the live rate when you're ready to pay.
Sending Money From Abroad — What to Know
International money transfers to Ghana aren't free, and the fees add up. The World Bank's most recent data puts the average cost of sending money to Sub-Saharan Africa at over 8% for smaller transfers — among the highest of any region globally. That's a real cost to plan for on top of your borehole budget, and it's one more reason to pay a licensed company directly by bank transfer, with a written invoice, rather than sending informal cash through an intermediary.
