Ground and Water in Bellville
- Lower Bellville is on the Cape Flats sand aquifer, with sand about 23 m thick in places; higher parts rise onto Malmesbury shale.
- Early drilling in Bellville warned of saline water at depth, so test before use.
- Malmesbury shale usually gives low yields, often under 2 litres a second, and the water can be salty.
What Affects Borehole Work in Bellville
- In complexes and sectional-title schemes, drilling on common property usually needs body corporate or HOA approval first.
- Business premises near the CBD may need registration or authorisation for their water use.
City of Cape Town Rules
