Western Cape notes on installation, repairs & parts
Rewinders and pump workshops in Montague Gardens, Epping and Brackenfell serve the metro, while Paarl, Worcester and George serve farms and towns further out. Check with the City before drilling: Cape Town asks for boreholes and wellpoints to be registered and has rules on their use. Iron clogging means pumps and wellpoints need servicing. Many installers book up with irrigation work before summer.
Who pumps what in Western Cape
The drought that brought Cape Town close to Day Zero in 2018 changed how the city thinks about water. Thousands of homes sank wellpoints into the sandy Cape Flats aquifer or drilled boreholes into the rock below the southern and northern suburbs, and the City asks for them to be registered. Wellpoint water in some areas carries iron that stains walls and clogs pumps. Rain falls mostly in winter, filling basements near the Foreshore and flooding the Cape Flats, while the dry summer is when the Winelands, Breede River valley and Swartland pump hardest for vineyards and orchards. Along the Garden Route, George and Knysna face their own dry spells, and estates use sewage pump stations.
The requests we see from Western Cape usually come from:
- Homeowners: a garden borehole pump that hums and trips after a summer storm
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a communal irrigation borehole with a split drop pipe and no water at the tank
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: a lodge backup borehole pulled, tested and serviced before the dry season
