Mthatha notes on borehole & water supply
Rural boreholes around Libode, Mqanduli, Qunu and Tsolo are often fitted with solar pumps that fill a tank by day, with taps for the community. Depths and yields vary in the hills, and a dry winter can drop the level, so set the pump deep enough and protect it from running dry. In town, households and businesses add a tank, a booster pump and a pressure vessel for interruptions.
