Kariega notes on borehole & water supply
Smallholdings around Kruisrivier and towards Groendal pump boreholes for gardens, poultry and livestock, and solar pumps that fill a tank by day are popular where the grid is far or costly. In town and in Despatch, many homes added boreholes during the drought; check with the municipality about registration. Households in KwaNobuhle and Langa often use tanks with booster pumps when the supply is interrupted.
Water and ground in Kariega
Long before the dams, Kariega drew water from springs, and groundwater is still part of the story in the dry country around the town. During the Nelson Mandela Bay drought many homes in Kariega and Despatch drilled boreholes, and smallholdings around Kruisrivier and along the Groendal road pump for gardens, livestock and vegetables. The motor industry is the town's big employer, and the plant and its suppliers run process water, cooling, fire and sump pumps. The Swartkops River can flood after heavy rain, and low parts of Despatch and the town have taken water in the past. Hot, dry summers mean pools and garden irrigation pull on pumps, and hard water can scale up fittings and pressure switches.
Typical deep well pumps requests in the area come from:
- Factories, plants and depots: process water from deep holes at factories and depots
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: lodges, schools and hotels with deep backup boreholes
- Farms: high head three phase sets for reservoirs, livestock and irrigation
