Ground and Water in Plumstead
- Plumstead lies where the Cape Flats sands meet higher ground, so wellpoints work in some streets and not others.
- 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 Plumstead
- In complexes and sectional-title schemes, drilling on common property usually needs body corporate or HOA approval first.
- Family homes often combine a wellpoint for the garden with tank backup.
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.
