Alberton notes on borehole & water supply
With frequent water cuts, many Alberton homes have a water tank, a <a href="/jojo-tank-pumps/">tank pump</a> and an automatic changeover. Estates in Meyersdal sometimes have boreholes in rock on the Klipriviersberg slopes, where yields vary and holes can be deep. Ask the driller about nearby yields and size the pump to the test. Factories in Alrode run booster sets from storage tanks.
Who pumps what in Alberton
Alberton lies between the Klipriviersberg hills and the industrial belt of Alrode, and it has had more than its share of water cuts, with suburbs like Brackenhurst, Brackendowns and Randhart going days without water. Tanks and boosters are therefore a standard fit on many houses here. Meyersdal and the estates on the slopes of the Klipriviersberg are on rock, which affects both boreholes and drainage. Alrode is a big industrial area with metal works, food plants and transport yards, and that is where many pump shops, rewinders and spares counters are. The Natalspruit and smaller streams run through the area and rise quickly in heavy storms.
The requests we see from Alberton usually come from:
- Homeowners: a 4 inch pump filling a garden tank or feeding irrigation during water cuts
- Factories, plants and depots: process and wash water from a borehole at a plant or depot
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a communal borehole pump feeding the complex garden system or a backup tank
