Klerksdorp notes on borehole & water supply
Grain and cattle farms around Klerksdorp water stock from boreholes, and a good number now use solar borehole pumps instead of windmills, with a reservoir for cloudy days. In Flamwood, Wilkoppies and Doringkruin, boreholes keep gardens alive through dry spells and water cuts. Ask the driller about nearby holes and old mine ground before drilling, and test the water if you plan to drink it.
Who pumps what in Klerksdorp
Gold built Klerksdorp, Stilfontein and Orkney, and the mines left behind a big pumping problem. Underground workings fill with water once pumping stops, so shafts in the goldfield still need large high head pumps to keep water from rising into neighbouring mines, and tailings dams need slurry and return water pumps. The town also serves a wide grain district: maize and sunflower farms toward Hartbeesfontein and Ottosdal pump from boreholes for houses and livestock, and solar pumps are replacing windmills. Houses in Flamwood and the older suburbs add boreholes and tanks where supply is unreliable. The Vaal River to the south feeds irrigation farms. Water near mining ground can carry sulphate or metals, so test it before use.
The requests we see from Klerksdorp usually come from:
- Mines and quarries: water supply boreholes for mine camps, offices and dust suppression
- 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
Local tips for Klerksdorp
Pump suppliers serving Klerksdorp mostly work from here: mine suppliers and pump workshops in Klerksdorp's industrial areas. The jobs that come up most: mine shaft and tailings pumps, farm boreholes going solar, garden boreholes. When you ask for quotes, ask whether the water should be tested for sulphate before you drink it.
Borehole Pumps usually suit houses, plots, smallholdings and farms. How it is fitted: hung on the drop pipe below the water. For mines and quarries, the biggest group here, that usually means water supply boreholes for mine camps, offices and dust suppression. On the ground and water: hot dry summers with storms, cold winters; mine water may need testing.
