Borehole and water filtration quotes in Faerie Glen
Faerie Glen sits at the western end of the Bronberg, and its nature reserve gives an unusually clear picture of local rock: andesitic basalt of the Hekpoort Formation along the Moreleta Spruit, intrusive diabase on the hillsides, and Daspoort quartzite forming the ridge crest. That mix of rock types is why borehole results can differ markedly across short distances. Parts of Faerie Glen were among the eastern suburbs left with low pressure or no water during Rand Water’s Mapleton system maintenance.
Local considerations installers weigh here: mixed geology of quartzite, volcanic rock and diabase intrusions, so a site survey helps with siting; setback from the Moreleta Spruit and from sewer lines; ridge-side versus lower-lying stands; municipal notice and the no-cross-connection rule; a lab test before drinking or indoor use

Frequently Asked Questions
What rock is under Faerie Glen?
The nature reserve shows andesitic basalt of the Hekpoort Formation along the Moreleta Spruit, diabase intrusions and Daspoort quartzite on the ridge. Your stand’s exact geology depends on its position.
Will my Faerie Glen borehole water need softening?
Only a test can tell. The area’s mixed geology means hardness varies from hole to hole. Ask for hardness, iron and manganese in the test before choosing any treatment.
