Randfontein notes on borehole & water supply
Smallholdings around Randfontein and toward Westonaria rely on <a href="/borehole-pumps/">borehole pumps</a>, sometimes deep, filling tanks for the house and animals. In Greenhills and Randgate, families keep water tanks with a booster for days when the municipal supply stops. Farms to the west and south use boreholes for irrigation and livestock, and <a href="/solar-borehole-pumps/">solar pumps</a> make sense where power lines are long and unreliable.
Water and ground in Randfontein
Randfontein and Westonaria are old gold mining towns, and the Far West Rand sits on large dolomite compartments that held so much water the mines had to pump enormous volumes to keep working. That history explains the sinkholes some areas have seen and why drilling on dolomite here should be done with care. Mining still drives demand for dewatering, slurry and sump pumps, and a cluster of pump and motor workshops services them. In town, Greenhills and Randgate homes use tanks and boosters through water cuts, and the plots on the edges run borehole pumps for houses, chickens and vegetables. Workshops sit in Randfontein's industrial area and along the road to Westonaria.
Who asks for borehole pumps around Randfontein, most often first:
- Mines and quarries: water supply boreholes for mine camps, offices and dust suppression
- Smallholdings and plots: one pump for the house, the animals and the vegetables, sized to the yield
- Factories, plants and depots: process and wash water from a borehole at a plant or depot
