Borehole & water supply in Gauteng: local notes
Borehole depths vary a lot across Gauteng, from fairly shallow holes in the north to deep ones on the Witwatersrand ridge, so ask the driller what nearby holes found. Most garden sets are 4 inch single phase pumps feeding a tank. In complexes and homes with long water cuts, a <a href="/booster-pumps/">booster pump</a> with a pressure tank or controller supplies the house from storage, often on an inverter so it keeps going through load-shedding.
Who pumps what in Gauteng
Gauteng sits on a ridge far from any big river, so most of its tap water is pumped up from the Vaal system, and many suburbs have had water cuts and low pressure when that supply or the local network falters. That is why gardens in Pretoria East, Fourways and Benoni have boreholes and so many homes keep a plastic tank with a booster pump. Ground matters here: dolomite under parts of Centurion, the West Rand and Ekurhuleni calls for careful siting, and Johannesburg and Tshwane have their own borehole rules. Summer storms bring lightning that kills control boxes and floods basements in Sandton and the Joburg CBD. Pump shops, rewinders and drillers cluster in Kya Sand, Wadeville, Rosslyn and Silverton.
Who asks for deep well pumps around Gauteng, most often first:
- Homeowners: a deep 4 inch set where the local water table is far down
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a deep communal borehole feeding storage tanks for the complex
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: lodges, schools and hotels with deep backup boreholes
