Benoni notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Near the lakes and pans in Lakefield and Farrarmere, a high water table and heavy rain can flood gardens and low rooms, and drainage pumps with float switches help. Estates with sewage pump stations need regular checks of floats and alarms. Pool pumps are common work in the older suburbs, and koi ponds on larger properties need pumps and pre-filters that run around the clock.
Who pumps what in Benoni
Benoni is known for its lakes and pans, from Homestead Lake to the water around Lakefield and Farrarmere, and that high water near the surface affects drainage in wet summers. The town also has a large ring of plots and small farms, in Putfontein, Benoni Agricultural Holdings, Rynfield and out toward Bapsfontein, where boreholes supply houses, poultry, horses and vegetable tunnels. In the older suburbs, Northmead and Rynfield homes have had water cuts, so tanks and boosters are common. Gold mines once worked under Benoni, and parts of Ekurhuleni lie on dolomite, so drill with care. Pump shops and workshops sit in Benoni's industrial areas and near the N12.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:
- Smallholdings and plots: water tanks, troughs and small ponds emptied for cleaning with a portable pump
- Factories, plants and depots: wash bays, drainage pits and loading docks pumped clear of rainwater
- Homeowners: a flooded basement, garage or low patio pumped out after a heavy thunderstorm
