Types of boreholes in Table View
| Type | Best for | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Wellpoint | Garden irrigation on small stands | Stays within about 10 m of depth |
| Linked wellpoints | Larger gardens needing more flow | Each extra point adds cost |
| Mini borehole (18–36 m, PVC) | Water table too deep for a wellpoint | Needs screened casing and submersible pump |
| Standard domestic borehole | Garden plus a steadier backup supply | Lab test needed before indoor use |
| Solar-powered borehole | Running the pump off the grid | Panels add to the upfront cost |
Borehole materials compared
| Material | Strengths | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| uPVC casing and screen | Inert, light, joints last 20+ years | Rough handling on site can damage it |
| Steel casing | Strong top section against hole collapse | Salty or acidic water attacks it |
| Polyethylene wellpoint pipe | Cheap, quick, lasts at least 20 years | Only reaches shallow sand |
| Gravel pack | Holds sand back from screen slots | Wrong grading can clog the screen |
| Submersible pump | Quiet, standard choice, lasts 8–15 years | Sandy water wears it faster |
Sandy ground
- Coarse sand yields more than fine sand, so ask what was struck.
- Screen slot size should match the flow you expect.
- Clay or tightly packed fine sand can defeat a wellpoint.
- Sand in the water wears pumps faster, so ask about a separator.
Wellpoint or borehole
- A wellpoint needs the water table within about 8 m.
- Suction pumping suits garden use, not whole-house supply.
- A wellpoint can run out if the water table falls.
- You cannot deepen a wellpoint into a borehole later.
Iron and water quality
- Dissolved iron turns solid in air and stains walls and laundry.
- Iron-rich water is still fine on lawns and plants.
- Test to SANS 241 before drinking or cooking with it.
- Choose filters from the lab result, not a salesperson's guess.
Approval in Table View
- Table View sits under the City of Cape Town, which expects your application at least 14 days before a wellpoint or borehole is sunk.
- Once it is drilled, register it with the City by email and display the free sign you receive.
- National rules differ: users must meter water and keep records, and selling borehole water needs DWS permission.

Frequently asked questions
Planning a Table View borehole: what amount should I set aside?
A wellpoint starts around R6 500. A full drilled system usually lands between R55 000 and R110 000, depending on depth and pump.
Must the City of Cape Town be informed before I drill in Table View?
Yes. Send the City your application 14 days beforehand, then register the finished hole to get a free sign.
What works for a Table View townhouse complex or small office?
Ask installers to size the system from your irrigation demand and a tested yield. Wellpoints can be linked together when one point is not enough.
Why is my borehole water staining walls and paving?
Dissolved iron turns solid once it meets air. Get a lab test, then a filter matched to the result.
Can a Table View wellpoint run out of water?
It can if the water table drops below the pipe. A drilled borehole is more dependable all year.
