Borehole & water supply in Potchefstroom: local notes
Garden boreholes are common in Potchefstroom's older suburbs, usually a 4 inch pump with a pressure tank or a tank and booster. Student landlords near the campus tend to want a quiet booster pump and a tank sized for many showers. Smallholdings along the Mooi River pump for vegetables and lucerne. Ask the driller whether your stand is on dolomite, and check with the municipality about any borehole rules.
Water and ground in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom's water story starts underground. The Mooi River that runs through town is fed by dolomitic springs upstream, and dolomite underlies parts of the district, which means boreholes can be strong but drilling needs care because of the risk of sinkholes. Many homeowners in Baillie Park, Van der Hoff Park and Dassierand use boreholes for gardens, and student houses and flats near the university often have tanks and boosters for water cuts. Around the town, smallholdings and farms grow vegetables, maize and lucerne, pumping from boreholes and the river. Agricultural training and research here keep farmers well informed about pump choices. Summer storms on the Highveld bring lightning, and pump control boxes on exposed plots take a beating.
