Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Upington: local notes
Silt and sand from the Orange River wear pump impellers and clog intakes, so river pump stations need screens and regular cleaning. Packhouses and wineries along the river need sump and drainage pumps for wash water. On rare heavy rain, drains in Paballelo and town overflow. Pools are common in the heat, and pool pumps work long hours, so repairs and replacements keep local shops busy.
Water and ground in Upington
Upington is a green strip of vineyards in a desert. Table grapes, raisin grapes and some wine grapes grow along the Orange River from Groblershoop to Kakamas, watered by canals and pumps that lift river water onto the farms and into drip systems. Irrigation pumps, filters and pump stations are the main business here, with repairs needed fast in the hot months when vines cannot wait. Away from the river, the Kalahari and Bushmanland farms run on boreholes for sheep, goats and game, and solar pumps suit the long sunny days. Groundwater can be salty, so test it. Summer heat is extreme, which is hard on motors, cables and control panels standing in the sun.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Farms: flooded cellars, pits and low sheds drained after summer storms
- Smallholdings and plots: water tanks, troughs and small ponds emptied for cleaning with a portable pump
- Homeowners: a flooded basement, garage or low patio pumped out after a heavy thunderstorm

Common here: river and canal irrigation pumps for vineyards, solar borehole pumps in the Kalahari. Ask each supplier about this: ask whether the river intake has a screen to keep silt and sand out. Where they work from: irrigation suppliers, pump shops and rewinders in Upington and Kakamas.
Around Upington the largest group asking is farms, which usually means flooded cellars, pits and low sheds drained after summer storms. Before you agree to anything: clean or dirty water, and the lift height. Getting a technician there: installers cover the river from Groblershoop to Kakamas; Kalahari farms are far out.
