Ground and Water in Constantia
- Constantia sits on sandstone and granite slopes and has a high density of private boreholes.
- Water from Table Mountain sandstone is usually low in salt but acidic, often with iron and manganese, so household use usually needs treatment.
- Effects of dense private pumping on a nearby spring have been monitored, so pump within your borehole's tested yield.
What Affects Borehole Work in Constantia
- Large gardens often need irrigation zoned to the borehole's sustainable flow.
- Estates and long driveways need access checked before a rig is booked.
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 Constantia FAQs
Wellpoint or borehole in Constantia?
There is no published local data, so ask contractors what nearby properties use. A wellpoint only works in sand with shallow water; otherwise a borehole is needed.
Do I need permission for a borehole in Constantia?
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.
Will a Constantia borehole run dry?
It can if pumped harder than its tested yield. A yield test and a pump sized to it protect the borehole and neighbouring water sources.
