Borehole & water supply in Ladysmith: local notes
Farms around Elandslaagte, Roosboom and Van Reenen water cattle and homesteads from boreholes, and many run solar pumps now that power at remote points is costly. Ask how the hole performs late in a dry winter, because levels drop. In Ezakheni and Steadville, households and small businesses add a tank and a booster pump for interruptions. Vegetable growers along the river use surface pumps for irrigation.
Who pumps what in Ladysmith
Floods are part of Ladysmith's history. The Klip River runs straight through the town and has broken its banks many times, which is why dams upstream were built partly for flood control, and why shops and homes in the low lying centre still keep drainage pumps ready. Outside town the land opens into cattle and mixed farms that rely on boreholes, from Elandslaagte to the foot of Van Reenen's Pass, and summer thunderstorms with lightning roll in over the Drakensberg. Many residents in Ezakheni and Steadville have dealt with water interruptions and use tanks. The Ezakheni industrial area adds factory pumps, sumps and process water. Pump shops and rewinders sit near the town centre and along the N11, with drillers serving the farms.
Typical borehole pumps requests in the area come from:
- Farms: larger pumps on three phase for livestock troughs, reservoirs and irrigation
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: backup borehole water for schools, lodges, hotels and office parks
- Homeowners: a 4 inch pump filling a garden tank or feeding irrigation during water cuts
