Wellpoint Installation Kempton Park covers shallow groundwater across the suburb and the surrounding Ekurhuleni areas, on flat ground in the Kaalspruit and Modderfontein catchments.
Kempton Park is level, low-lying country with a shallow water table across much of it, which makes it one of the more straightforward places on the Reef to jet a point.

The flat ground north and east of the airport sits over material that jets well, with a water table often within a few metres of the surface. Depth to water is rarely the constraint here that it is in the northern suburbs, which changes the whole conversation.
Yields on good Kempton Park ground can comfortably support a full domestic irrigation system without storage, though the sustained figure still needs measuring rather than assuming. A point that gives 2,500 litres an hour for ten minutes and 900 for the rest of the night is a 900 litre point.
Airport and industrial land use across parts of the area means water testing is worth doing before the water goes near anything beyond ornamental planting. Fuel handling, industrial sites and old landfill all leave their mark on shallow groundwater.

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
Kempton Park 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 Kempton Park good wellpoint ground?
Generally yes. The ground is flat and low-lying with a water table often within a few metres of the surface, which is what a jetted point needs.
What yield can I expect?
Better than the northern suburbs. Points here can reach 2,000 to 3,000 litres an hour on good ground, though the sustained yield must be measured rather than estimated from the first few minutes.
Do I need storage?
Often not. A yield in that range supports a properly zoned domestic irrigation system directly, which simplifies the installation considerably.
Should I test the water?
Yes. Industrial land use, fuel handling and old landfill across parts of the area all affect shallow groundwater. An irrigation-suitability screen is the minimum before the water reaches anything.
How long does an installation take?
Jetting the point is usually two to four hours on this ground. Pump wiring, filtration and connecting to an existing irrigation system are what extend it into a full day.
Which municipality do I register with?
Ekurhuleni. Registration is generally required, abstraction should be metered, and no interconnection with the municipal supply is permitted.
