Bloemfontein notes on borehole & water supply
Garden boreholes with 4 inch pumps and pressure tanks are common in Bloemfontein's western suburbs, and many houses add a tank and booster for water cuts. Bainsvlei smallholdings depend on boreholes for everything. On farms, solar borehole pumps are replacing windmills, filling a reservoir by day; ask whether the quote includes the controller, panels and a frame. Size the pump to the yield test.
Bloemfontein: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Bloemfontein's water has to come a long way, much of it from dams and transfer schemes to the east, and many suburbs have had water cuts and low pressure. Homeowners in Langenhoven Park, Brandwag and Fichardt Park have responded with garden boreholes, tanks and boosters. West of the city, the smallholdings of Bainsvlei rely almost entirely on boreholes. Out on the Free State farms, windmills that pumped stock water for generations are being replaced by solar pumps, and maize and sunflower farmers use boreholes for houses and livestock. Ground is often shale and sandstone cut by dolerite dykes, and drillers here look for those dykes to find water. Pump shops, drillers and rewinders work from the industrial areas around Hamilton and Hilton.
Typical borehole pumps requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a 4 inch pump filling a garden tank or feeding irrigation during water cuts
- Smallholdings and plots: one pump for the house, the animals and the vegetables, sized to the yield
- Farms: larger pumps on three phase for livestock troughs, reservoirs and irrigation
