Ground and Water in Parow

- Malmesbury shale usually gives low yields, often under 2 litres a second, and the water can be salty.
What Affects Borehole Work in Parow
- In complexes and sectional-title schemes, drilling on common property usually needs body corporate or HOA approval first.
- Older houses on narrow erven need rig access checked.
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.
