Wellpoint Installation Edenvale covers shallow groundwater across the suburb and the surrounding Ekurhuleni areas, on ground drained by the Modderfontein Spruit and its tributaries.
Edenvale sits on the western edge of the East Rand, where the ridge ground gives way to flatter country with a shallower water table.
Send your street and how close you sit to the spruit. It moves the odds considerably.
Check Your Edenvale PropertyGround Conditions
The Modderfontein Spruit and its feeder streams run through Edenvale, and the alluvial ground along those lines carries sand and gravel with a water table that follows the stream. That is the better jetting ground, and it holds water within suction reach more reliably than anything on the higher stands.
The southern edge of Edenvale grades towards the Bedfordview ridge, where the soil thins and quartzite comes up. Stands on that side behave more like ridge properties, and a wellpoint has considerably less to work with there.
Edenvale is an established suburb with mature gardens and older infrastructure, so buried services and old building spoil are a real risk at the point position. Confirm what is underground before the jetting rig starts.

These are indicative Johannesburg 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
Edenvale falls within Ekurhuleni rather than the City of Johannesburg, so Ekurhuleni's by-laws and registration requirements are the ones that apply. In general a groundwater system has to be registered, abstraction has to be metered with records kept, and the system may not be interconnected with the municipal water installation. Reasonable domestic garden use normally falls under Schedule 1 of the National Water Act. Confirm the current position with Ekurhuleni before installing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Edenvale good wellpoint ground?
The flatter ground along the Modderfontein Spruit is good. The southern edge grading towards the Bedfordview ridge is not, because the soil thins and rock comes up close to the surface.
How deep will the point go?
Often 5 to 9 metres on the spruit ground. The standing water level needs to be within about 6 to 6.5 metres of the pump, which on the flatter Edenvale stands is frequently the case.
Should the water be tested?
Yes. Shallow water beside an urban watercourse reflects the catchment above it, and Ekurhuleni carries industrial and mining history. An irrigation-suitability screen is the minimum; anything beyond the garden needs a full analysis.
Will buried services be a problem?
They can be in an older suburb. A jetting string and a buried water or electrical service are a bad combination, so the point position should be checked against the site plan before work starts.
What yield should I plan for?
On good Edenvale ground, 1,500 to 2,500 litres an hour is achievable. Have the sustained yield measured rather than the first-hour figure before sizing the irrigation.
Who regulates groundwater in Edenvale?
Ekurhuleni. Registration is generally required and groundwater may not be interconnected with the municipal water installation. Confirm the current requirement directly.
