What to know locally in Bellville
Workshops in Bellville South and Stikland rewind motors, repair booster and pool pumps, and service basement sumps for building managers. Drillers in the northern suburbs know the shale and can say what neighbours found. Salty water corrodes pumps and fittings, so ask about stainless parts. Hire yards supply drainage pumps and lay-flat hose in winter, and spares like pressure switches are easy to find.
Water and ground in Bellville
Bellville and the northern suburbs sit on different ground from the Cape Flats. Much of the area is on Malmesbury shale, where boreholes can be lower yielding and the water is often salty or high in minerals, which surprises owners who expected the results their friends got in sandy Milnerton. Durbanville's wine and wheat farms on the hills pump from boreholes and farm dams, and homes in Brackenfell, Kuils River and Durbanville drilled in numbers during the drought. Winter rain pushes the Kuils River and its tributaries over their banks in places, and office parks in Tygervalley have basements that rely on sump pumps. Pump shops, rewinders and irrigation suppliers work from Bellville South, Stikland and the industrial roads off the N1.
Typical borehole drilling requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs drilled to ride out water cuts
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a communal borehole drilled for the gardens of a complex or security estate
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: a lodge, school or hotel drilling a borehole for backup water
