Borehole & water supply in Western Cape: local notes
In Cape Town, a wellpoint in the sandy northern suburbs or Cape Flats, or a borehole in places like Constantia and Durbanville, often feeds a garden or a tank with a <a href="/booster-pumps/">booster pump</a>. Ask about iron in the water before you choose a pump. Winelands farms around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester run three phase <a href="/irrigation-pumps/">irrigation pumps</a> from dams and rivers through the dry summer.
Water and ground 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.
Who asks for pressure tanks around Western Cape, most often first:
- Homeowners: a small tank on the booster so the pump stops starting for every tap
- Smallholdings and plots: a larger tank on the borehole system for steady pressure to the house
- Farms: large vessels on borehole and irrigation systems to reduce starts
