Borehole & water supply in Johannesburg: local notes
Most pump work in Johannesburg starts with a water cut. A <a href="/jojo-tank-pumps/">tank pump</a> and changeover on a house in Westdene or Kensington keeps the taps going, and blocks of flats in Yeoville and Berea use booster sets to reach the top floors when pressure drops. In the northern suburbs, garden boreholes are often drilled through granite to moderate depths; ask the driller what nearby holes have yielded and size the pump to the test.
Who pumps what in Johannesburg
Johannesburg gets its water from the Vaal system through a long chain of pipes, pump stations and reservoirs, and when one link fails the taps in whole suburbs run dry. Many areas, from Melville and Linden on the ridges to parts of Soweto and the south, have had water cuts and low pressure that last days, so water tanks with booster pumps are now common on houses and flats. Boreholes are popular in the leafy north, but the city asks owners to register them, so check before you drill. Under the south and the CBD lie old gold workings, and pump repair and rewinding workshops cluster in Denver, City Deep, Industria and Jeppestown.
Typical deep well pumps requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a deep 4 inch set where the local water table is far down
- Factories, plants and depots: process water from deep holes at factories and depots
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a deep communal borehole feeding storage tanks for the complex
Local tips for Johannesburg
Common here: water tank boosters for water cuts, garden boreholes, pressure sets for flats. Ask each supplier about this: ask if the quote includes a changeover so the house uses mains water when it is on. Where they work from: denver, City Deep, Industria and Jeppestown, with shops along the M1 and N12.
Around Johannesburg the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means a deep 4 inch set where the local water table is far down. Before you agree to anything: pumping level, yield and cable length. Getting a technician there: installers and drillers cover the whole metro; rigs come from yards south and west.
