Borehole & water supply in eMalahleni: local notes
Houses in eMalahleni mostly pump for backup rather than for a garden. A plastic tank on a stand, a booster pump with a pressure controller, and a changeover from municipal water covers most water cuts. Where people drill, the driller should warn you about old undermined ground and water that tastes of iron or sulphur near the workings. Smallholdings toward Clewer and the Olifants River side use 4 inch borehole pumps with a tank to fill by day.
eMalahleni: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Coal shapes almost every pumping job around eMalahleni. Opencast pits and underground workings toward Ogies and Kriel collect rain and groundwater that has to be pumped out day and night, and much of that water is acidic, so mines ask for pumps with wet ends that can handle it. In town the story is different: many suburbs have had water cuts and low pressure, which is why so many houses in Del Judor, Reyno Ridge and Clewer now have a plastic tank and a booster pump. Boreholes are drilled here too, but water quality near old workings can be poor, so test before you drink it. Pump shops, rewinders and mine suppliers cluster in Ferrobank and along the N4 service roads.
Typical borehole pumps requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: water supply boreholes for mine camps, offices and dust suppression
- Contractors and drillers: drillers and installers fitting pumps to new or refurbished holes
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a communal borehole pump feeding the complex garden system or a backup tank
Local tips for eMalahleni
Common here: mine dewatering and slurry pumps, tank boosters for suburbs with water cuts. Ask each supplier about this: ask whether the pump's wet end suits acidic mine water before you buy. Where they work from: pump shops, rewinders and mine suppliers in Ferrobank and off the N4.
Sizes vary: 4 inch pumps, 0.37 to 2.2 kW. Here, mines and quarries lead the requests, typically for water supply boreholes for mine camps, offices and dust suppression. One local point to raise: most suppliers are local, and Gauteng workshops are a little over 100 km on the N4.
