Wellpoint Installation Wetton covers shallow groundwater on the sandy ground between the Southern Suburbs and the Cape Flats.
Wetton sits on the sandy side of that boundary, which is what makes a wellpoint practical here.
Send your street and roughly how much lawn you water. Sizing follows from the yield.
Check Your Wetton PropertyGround Conditions
Wetton lies on the sandy ground east of the Southern Suburbs slope, where material connected to the Cape Flats aquifer is reasonably consistent. That puts it among the more workable parts of the city for water jetting, with points generally finishing in the usual 6 to 12 metre band.
Low, flat ground is the second advantage. A wellpoint draws through a surface suction pump capped at roughly 7 to 8 metres of lift, and flat Cape Flats ground keeps the standing water level inside that far more reliably than the rising suburbs to the west.
Older established plots occasionally turn up buried rubble and made ground that will stop a jetting string, so the no-water fee is still worth agreeing before work starts.

These are indicative Cape Town market ranges, not a quotation. Wellpoint pricing moves with depth, ground conditions, access and the pump specified, so treat these as a budgeting starting point and compare written quotes on what each one actually includes.
Ask what happens if no usable water is struck, whether the pump, controller and electrical connection are in the price, and what the guarantee covers.
Registration
Wetton falls within the City of Cape Town, so the City's application and registration process applies, along with the national metering and record-keeping requirements and the by-law prohibiting interconnection with the municipal supply. Requirements change, so confirm the current position with the City before installing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a wellpoint work in Wetton?
Generally yes. Wetton sits on sandy ground connected to the Cape Flats aquifer, which is the formation jetting needs, on flat ground that keeps water within suction range.
How does Wetton compare with the slope suburbs?
Considerably better. Suburbs rising towards the mountain run into thinning soil over rock and greater depth to water, both of which work against a suction-driven wellpoint.
Can a Wetton wellpoint run an automated irrigation system?
Yes. An irrigation controller opens the zone valves on schedule and the pump controller starts the pump on the resulting pressure drop, with zones sequenced one at a time.
Does buried rubble affect Wetton plots?
It can on older established properties. Made ground and old fill will stop a jetting string that clean natural sand would have allowed.
What does a Wetton wellpoint cost?
Roughly R7,000 to R12,000 for a standard installation with a small self-priming pump, with controls, filtration and irrigation connection priced on top.
How often should a Wetton system be serviced?
Once a year suits most domestic gardens, ideally in early spring before the irrigation season loads it up.
