Ground and Water in Ottery
- Ottery is on the Cape Flats plain, where the water table across the aquifer averages only a few metres down.
- Shallow groundwater in the Cape Flats sands can carry pollution from sewers, stormwater and old landfill sites, so have it tested before drinking it.
- Groundwater can discolour paintwork and stain paving, so ask for an iron test before irrigating near walls and light surfaces.
What Affects Borehole Work in Ottery
- Smaller erven often suit a wellpoint, which needs far less space than a rig.
- Industrial pockets nearby make water testing important.
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.
