What to know locally in KwaZulu-Natal
Where eThekwini supply is unreliable, households in areas like Verulam, Phoenix and the upper highway fit a tank with a <a href="/jojo-tank-pumps/">tank pump</a> or booster. Midlands farms around Howick, Mooi River and Greytown use three phase irrigation pumps from rivers and dams, and cane growers inland of the coast pump for irrigation in dry spells. Boreholes in the interior are common on farms and smallholdings.
KwaZulu-Natal: the properties, the water and the pump shops
KwaZulu-Natal has more rain than most of the country, and its pumping problems are often about too much water rather than too little. The floods of April 2022 left basements, yards and pump stations in and around Durban under water, and summer downpours still fill sumps fast. Along the coast, sandy ground around Durban, Richards Bay and the North and South Coast means construction sites rely on wellpoints and dewatering pumps, and many coastal estates run sewage pump stations. Inland, sugar cane, Midlands dairy and timber farms pump from rivers, dams and boreholes, and Newcastle has heavy industry. Yet water cuts in parts of eThekwini have also driven homes towards tanks and boosters.
Who asks for booster pumps around KwaZulu-Natal, most often first:
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: pressure sets for complexes where upper units get weak water
- Factories, plants and depots: boosting process and wash water from storage tanks
- Contractors and drillers: plumbers fitting boosters and pressure sets on new builds
