Borehole & water supply in Richards Bay: local notes
Gardens in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood often run off shallow wellpoints or short boreholes in the sand, with a surface pump or a small submersible. The water can be high in iron, which stains walls and paving, so ask a pump shop about it before you plant a lawn around it. Cane farms near Empangeni, Felixton and Mtunzini pump from rivers, dams and boreholes for irrigation, usually with three phase pumps.
Who pumps what in Richards Bay
Sand is the defining feature of pumping in Richards Bay. The town is built on coastal dunes with lakes all around, the water table is shallow, and almost every excavation near the harbour, the bulk terminals and the industrial areas of Alton needs dewatering, often with wellpoints jetted into the sand. Heavy industry and the harbour keep slurry, process and sump pumps working around the clock, and dune mining along the coast moves sand and water by pump. Inland, sugar cane covers the hills around Empangeni and Felixton, with irrigation from rivers and boreholes. Tropical downpours flood low ground quickly. Homes in Meerensee and Arboretum often use shallow wellpoints for gardens, but the water can be high in iron.

- Factories, plants and depots: process water from deep holes at factories and depots
- Farms: high head three phase sets for reservoirs, livestock and irrigation
