Randfontein notes on borehole & water supply
Smallholdings around Randfontein and toward Westonaria rely on <a href="/borehole-pumps/">borehole pumps</a>, sometimes deep, filling tanks for the house and animals. In Greenhills and Randgate, families keep water tanks with a booster for days when the municipal supply stops. Farms to the west and south use boreholes for irrigation and livestock, and <a href="/solar-borehole-pumps/">solar pumps</a> make sense where power lines are long and unreliable.
Water and ground in Randfontein
Randfontein and Westonaria are old gold mining towns, and the Far West Rand sits on large dolomite compartments that held so much water the mines had to pump enormous volumes to keep working. That history explains the sinkholes some areas have seen and why drilling on dolomite here should be done with care. Mining still drives demand for dewatering, slurry and sump pumps, and a cluster of pump and motor workshops services them. In town, Greenhills and Randgate homes use tanks and boosters through water cuts, and the plots on the edges run borehole pumps for houses, chickens and vegetables. Workshops sit in Randfontein's industrial area and along the road to Westonaria.
The requests we see from Randfontein usually come from:
- Mines and quarries: deep supply holes and shaft dewatering on three phase
- Farms: high head three phase sets for reservoirs, livestock and irrigation
- Homeowners: a deep 4 inch set where the local water table is far down

Sizes vary: 4 and 6 inch, often three phase. Here, mines and quarries lead the requests, typically for deep supply holes and shaft dewatering on three phase. One local point to raise: workshops here cover Randfontein, Westonaria, Mohlakeng and the farms west.
