Ground and Water in Camps Bay

Camps Bay sits on Cape Granite, with Table Mountain sandstone behind it.
Granite rarely holds much water: across the region, many granite boreholes yield under 0.5 litres a second.
Close to the sea, heavy pumping can pull seawater into a borehole.

What Affects Borehole Work in Camps Bay

Steep driveways and terraced gardens can stop a rig reaching the drilling spot. Send photos of access.
Low granite yields often suit garden watering from a tank rather than direct pumping.

City of Cape Town Rules

Apply to the City at least 14 days before a borehole or wellpoint is sunk, then register it once it is in.
Borehole and wellpoint water use must be metered, and records kept.

Using borehole water inside the house needs City approval. See borehole installation in Cape Town for the full rules.

Borehole Installation Camps Bay FAQs

Can I use a wellpoint in Camps Bay?

Usually not. The ground is mostly rock, so a drilled borehole is needed. Ask for the depth limit and dry-hole terms in writing.

Do I need permission for a borehole in Camps Bay?

Yes, from the City of Cape Town: apply at least 14 days before sinking it and register it afterwards. Household use needs no national registration.

Why are borehole quotes higher in Camps Bay?

Granite is slow to drill, yields are often low and steep access can need a smaller rig or extra setup. A survey before drilling reduces the risk of a weak hole.
