Ground and Water in Durbanville
- Durbanville lies in the Tygerberg Hills, on Malmesbury shale and greywacke beyond the Cape Flats aquifer.
- Malmesbury shale usually gives low yields, often under 2 litres a second, and the water can be salty.
- Clay-rich ground can give sodium chloride water that is too salty for some plants.
What Affects Borehole Work in Durbanville
- Estates and smallholdings often need a survey before choosing a drilling spot.
- Low yields usually suit pumping slowly into a tank.
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 Durbanville FAQs
Can I use a wellpoint in Durbanville?
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 Durbanville?
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.
Is Durbanville borehole water too salty?
It can be. Malmesbury shale water is often salty. Test it before irrigating, and ask about treatment if you want to use it in the house.
