Ladysmith notes on installation, repairs & parts
Lightning burns out plenty of control boxes on farms around Ladysmith every summer, so ask for surge protection and a good earth, fitted by a qualified electrician. Local workshops repair and rewind borehole, irrigation and factory pumps, and larger motors may go to Durban or Pietermaritzburg. Drillers cover the whole district. Cable, poly pipe and common spares are usually stocked in town.
Water and ground in Ladysmith
Floods are part of Ladysmith's history. The Klip River runs straight through the town and has broken its banks many times, which is why dams upstream were built partly for flood control, and why shops and homes in the low lying centre still keep drainage pumps ready. Outside town the land opens into cattle and mixed farms that rely on boreholes, from Elandslaagte to the foot of Van Reenen's Pass, and summer thunderstorms with lightning roll in over the Drakensberg. Many residents in Ezakheni and Steadville have dealt with water interruptions and use tanks. The Ezakheni industrial area adds factory pumps, sumps and process water. Pump shops and rewinders sit near the town centre and along the N11, with drillers serving the farms.
The requests we see from Ladysmith usually come from:
- Farms: a deeper three phase set lowered by crane truck to fill stock troughs and a reservoir
- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs fitted with a pump, cap and pipe to a tank
- Factories, plants and depots: a borehole pump feeding process or wash bay water to a tank at a factory
