Installation, repairs & parts in Roodepoort: local notes
Pump workshops and rewinders in Roodepoort and Honeydew handle borehole, pool and booster repairs, and drillers based on the West Rand cover Roodepoort, Krugersdorp and Muldersdrift. Older borehole pumps on the plots often show sand wear, so ask the installer to check impellers and the non-return valve when the pump is pulled. Lightning is a real risk on open plots: ask about surge protection.
Roodepoort: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Roodepoort grew on gold, and the old mine dumps and shafts south of Main Reef Road are still part of the landscape. Water for most homes comes through Johannesburg's network, and suburbs like Florida, Weltevredenpark and Constantia Kloof have had water cuts and low pressure that drove people to tanks and boosters. Toward the west the town opens into smallholdings in Ruimsig, Honeydew and toward Muldersdrift, where boreholes supply houses, stables and nurseries. Parts of the western edge reach dolomite, so ask about the ground before drilling. Pump suppliers, borehole installers and rewinders work from Roodepoort's industrial areas and Laser Park in Honeydew.
Typical borehole drilling requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs drilled to ride out water cuts
- Smallholdings and plots: one borehole sited and drilled for the house, animals and a veg garden
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a communal borehole drilled for the gardens of a complex or security estate
