Who pumps what in Sasolburg
Sasolburg is a chemical town on the Vaal, built around petrochemical plants and the industries that feed off them. Process, effluent, chemical and cooling water pumps are serviced by contractors who work under strict safety rules, and many workshops in the town specialise in plant maintenance. Coal mining at Coalbrook adds dewatering work. For households in Vaalpark, Zamdela and the town suburbs, the municipal supply is usually the main source, but interruptions have pushed many to add tanks and boosters. Deneysville and the Vaal Dam shoreline have holiday homes and smallholdings that pump from boreholes and the dam. Sewage overflows into the Vaal system are a well known problem, and pump stations need careful maintenance.
