Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Bellville: local notes
Office parks and shopping centres around Tygervalley and the Bellville CBD run basement sumps that need duty and standby pumps and alarms. Winter rain floods low lying streets near the Kuils River and in parts of Bellville South, and drainage pumps are hired out after storms. Estates in Durbanville and Brackenfell sometimes run sewage pump stations, and pools across the suburbs keep pool pump repairers busy.
Who pumps what 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.
Who asks for drainage pumps around Bellville, most often first:
- Homeowners: a flooded basement, garage or low patio pumped out after a heavy thunderstorm
- Farms: flooded cellars, pits and low sheds drained after summer storms
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: storm water pits and flooded parking bays cleared by the maintenance team
