Ground and Water in Tokai
- Tokai sits on sandstone and granite slopes with a high density of private boreholes.
- Water from Table Mountain sandstone is usually low in salt but acidic, often with iron and manganese, so household use usually needs treatment.
What Affects Borehole Work in Tokai
- Larger erven and smallholdings often irrigate from a borehole and tank.
- Pump within the tested yield; dense local pumping affects neighbours.
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.
