Plumbing in Cape Town
Cape Town's plumbing market was reshaped by the 2017–2018 drought, when the threat of Day Zero pushed thousands of households to install rainwater tanks, greywater systems, wellpoints and boreholes. The City of Cape Town's Water By-law also requires a plumbing compliance certificate before a property can be transferred, so sellers regularly call plumbers to check geysers, valves, stormwater connections and water meters. Older homes in the southern suburbs and City Bowl still have galvanised pipes due for replacement, while the Atlantic Seaboard's salt air shortens the life of exposed fittings. Restaurants, hotels and apartment blocks add steady demand for drain and geyser work.
Typical borehole pump installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: suburban homes use borehole water for gardens, pools and backup supply
- Complexes: estates and complexes run communal boreholes to irrigate shared gardens
- Hospitality: lodges and guest farms depend on borehole pumps for their entire supply
- Restaurants: country restaurants supplement mains water with treated borehole supply
- Offices: office parks pump borehole water for landscaping and toilet flushing
- Retail: garden centres and nurseries irrigate stock from their own borehole
