Ground and Water in Pinelands
- Pinelands sits on the Cape Flats sand aquifer.
- 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 Pinelands
