Borehole & water supply in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes
Where eThekwini supply is unreliable, households in areas like Verulam, Phoenix and the upper highway fit a tank with a <a href="/jojo-tank-pumps/">tank pump</a> or booster. Midlands farms around Howick, Mooi River and Greytown use three phase irrigation pumps from rivers and dams, and cane growers inland of the coast pump for irrigation in dry spells. Boreholes in the interior are common on farms and smallholdings.
Water and ground in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has more rain than most of the country, and its pumping problems are often about too much water rather than too little. The floods of April 2022 left basements, yards and pump stations in and around Durban under water, and summer downpours still fill sumps fast. Along the coast, sandy ground around Durban, Richards Bay and the North and South Coast means construction sites rely on wellpoints and dewatering pumps, and many coastal estates run sewage pump stations. Inland, sugar cane, Midlands dairy and timber farms pump from rivers, dams and boreholes, and Newcastle has heavy industry. Yet water cuts in parts of eThekwini have also driven homes towards tanks and boosters.
Typical irrigation pumps requests in the area come from:
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: pumps for communal gardens, verges and sports fields
- Contractors and drillers: irrigation installers sizing and fitting pumps for clients
- Homeowners: a pump feeding garden sprinklers or drip lines from a borehole or tank
