What to know locally in Polokwane
In Bendor, Flora Park and Fauna Park, a garden borehole with a 4 inch pump and a tank is a common setup, with a booster to the house. In the villages, one borehole may serve several homes, so a sensible pump size and dry run protection matter. Potato and vegetable farms on the plateau use three phase borehole and irrigation pumps. Ask for the yield test before choosing the pump.
Who pumps what in Polokwane
Polokwane is a dry city with a growing population, and water shortages have pushed many households to find their own supply. Suburbs like Bendor and Flora Park have plenty of garden boreholes and tanks, while villages around Moletjie, Ga-Mothapo and Mankweng often depend on community boreholes or private ones. The city's water comes partly from distant dams and partly from groundwater, and both come under strain in a dry year. Farms on the plateau grow potatoes, vegetables and game, irrigating from boreholes where yields allow. Ground is mostly granite and gneiss, often hard to drill and uneven in yield. Pump shops, drillers and rewinders sit in the industrial areas near the N1, and many serve villages across the region.
Typical deep well pumps requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a deep 4 inch set where the local water table is far down
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: lodges, schools and hotels with deep backup boreholes
- Farms: high head three phase sets for reservoirs, livestock and irrigation
