Randburg: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Randburg spreads across hills, and that matters for water. Higher suburbs near Northcliff Ridge and parts of Linden and Blairgowrie are often the first to lose pressure when a reservoir runs low, and many homes there have had days without water during cuts. Water tanks with a booster and an automatic changeover are a common answer, and borehole owners plumb their well into the system too. Older houses in Ferndale, Robindale and Fontainebleau have big gardens and pools, and their borehole and pool pumps are now decades old. Strijdom Park and the light industrial strips off Malibongwe Drive and Bram Fischer Drive hold pump shops, electrical rewinders and spares counters.
The requests we see from Randburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs drilled to ride out water cuts
- Factories, plants and depots: a factory borehole for process water, with licensing checked first
- Contractors and drillers: a building contractor arranging a borehole for a new development
