Krugersdorp notes on installation, repairs & parts
Chamdor and Factoria have workshops that pull, repair and rewind borehole pumps, and some keep cable, pipe and spares for farm work. Drillers working the Cradle should know where the dolomite is risky; ask for proper casing and a sealed hole. Panel and cable theft is a problem on open plots, so ask about anti-theft mounting. Larger abstraction for irrigation may need registering with the Department of Water and Sanitation: check.
Water and ground in Krugersdorp
North of Krugersdorp the ground changes to dolomite, the same rock that holds the caves of the Cradle of Humankind. That makes for strong boreholes in places, but also sinkhole risk, so drilling here needs care and a driller who knows the area. Muldersdrift, Lanseria and the road to Magaliesburg are lined with smallholdings, guest farms, wedding venues and lodges, nearly all on borehole water, and many with their own sewage systems. South of town, generations of gold mining left flooded underground workings, and mine water has been a long running concern in the Western Basin. Pump shops, drillers and rewinders sit in Chamdor, Factoria and along Paardekraal Drive.
Typical borehole pump repairs requests in the area come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: a plot pump giving less water each month as sand wears the impellers
- Homeowners: a garden borehole pump that hums and trips after a summer storm
- Farms: a stock water borehole pulled by crane truck when the troughs stopped filling
