    Question Tulbagh area farmers - Water Questions

    Hi guys,

    Hoping to get lucky with this shot in the dark, to at least find someone with farming knowledge in the Tulbagh area.
    Seen a few 8-prop cruisers around, so I am sure you are out there

    I have (yet) undeveloped property in the 10km radius outside of Tulbagh which I am in the process of buying, a farm portion under 5000m2

    It has one borehole, and I will soon know it's rates and hopefully water analysis.

    My question is more towards the laws and regulations, and to fit in with my community's expectations. Good neighbours....

    What are the rules and restrictions for boreholes on smallholdings/small farms in the area with regards to usage, if you have to keep in mind that the property is not commercial. Vegetable gardens, fruit trees and some animals are on it, but for personal use, all of which need water. Once I know the water quality, I would like to
    of course use it for personal hygiene (shower and toilet) as well. Water is life, and that's the only source there.

    I would love to know if anyone knows, to make an apt decision on continuing the purchase or not.

    Appreciate it
