Gqeberha notes on borehole & water supply
During the drought many homes in Walmer, Mill Park, Lorraine and Newton Park drilled boreholes, and depths and yields vary across the metro. Size the pump to the yield test and check with the municipality about registration. Tanks with booster pumps and changeovers are common in Motherwell, KwaZakhele and the northern suburbs. Factories along the harbour and in the motor industry run pressure sets and process pumps.
Water and ground in Gqeberha
Nelson Mandela Bay learnt about water the hard way. A long drought left the supply dams very low for several years, restrictions were tight, and thousands of homes and businesses drilled boreholes or installed tanks. That is still the base of most pump work here: borehole pumps for gardens in Walmer, Lorraine and Newton Park, booster pumps on tanks across the northern areas, and pressure sets for factories. Groundwater quality varies, and some holes give salty or iron rich water, so test before you drink it. Leaks and burst pipes add their own outages. The harbour, the motor industry in Struandale and Markman, and the Coega zone keep industrial and dewatering pumps busy, and the wind and salt air wear out surface equipment.
Who asks for borehole pumps around Gqeberha, most often first:
- Homeowners: a 4 inch pump filling a garden tank or feeding irrigation during water cuts
- Contractors and drillers: drillers and installers fitting pumps to new or refurbished holes
- Factories, plants and depots: process and wash water from a borehole at a plant or depot
