What Affects Borehole Work in Newlands
- Treed properties and riverside erven can restrict where a rig can stand.
- Slopes towards the mountain may need a borehole rather than a wellpoint.
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.

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.
