Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Cape Town: local notes
Winter is flood season. Basements and lift pits in the city bowl, on the Foreshore and in Century City need sump pumps with duty and standby, and building sites in sandy ground often need wellpoints or dewatering pumps before excavation. Low lying parts of the Cape Flats flood every winter, and drainage pump hire peaks from June to August. Estates on the edge of the metro run sewage pump stations.
Water and ground in Cape Town
The drought of 2015 to 2018, and the talk of Day Zero, turned Cape Town into a city of boreholes and wellpoints. Thousands of homes tapped the sandy Cape Flats aquifer and deeper sandstone aquifers for gardens and pools, and the City now asks owners to register boreholes and wellpoints and follow its rules on use, so check with the municipality. Shallow water in the southern suburbs often carries iron that stains walls and paving. Winter rain fills basements and lift pits in the city bowl and on the Foreshore, which is built on reclaimed land, and floods low lying parts of the Cape Flats. Pump shops, rewinders and hire yards are spread through Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland and Salt River.

- Homeowners: rarely needed at home, perhaps to clear silt from a large ornamental dam
