What to know locally in Randfontein

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.
Typical dewatering pumps requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: open pits, shafts and underground sumps pumped around the clock
- Farms: a flooded dam basin or irrigation trench pumped out for repairs
- Homeowners: a deep pool or basement excavation kept dry while the shell is built
