Western Cape notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Winter storms flood parts of the Cape Flats and fill basements and parkades in the CBD and Foreshore, where the water table can be high, so sump and drainage pumps get heavy use from May to August. Construction in sandy ground along the Atlantic seaboard and in Bellville often needs wellpoint dewatering. Estates in Somerset West, Hermanus and the Garden Route run sewage pump stations.
Western Cape: the properties, the water and the pump shops
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 pond, birdbath or small fountain with a quiet submersible pump
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: lodges, hotels and office parks with waterfalls and fountains in the gardens
- Smallholdings and plots: a farm dam fountain or a duck pond kept moving with a solar pump
