Ground and Water in Green Point
- Green Point sits on Malmesbury Group rock.
- No published groundwater study covers Green Point street by street, so neighbours' boreholes and a site check are the best guide.
- Close to the sea, heavy pumping can pull seawater into a borehole.
What Affects Borehole Work in Green Point
- In complexes and sectional-title schemes, drilling on common property usually needs body corporate or HOA approval first.
- Event days around the stadium can block access for rigs and delivery trucks, so plan the drilling date around them.
- Small erven leave little room for a rig and a storage tank, so send the property layout.
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 Green Point FAQs
Wellpoint or borehole in Green Point?
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 Green Point?
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 a tank a better option than a borehole in Green Point?
Often, on small erven or in apartment blocks. A tank and booster pump give backup without drilling. Get quotes for both if you have space.
