What to know locally in Free State
Many Free State farms are swapping windmills for <a href="/solar-borehole-pumps/">solar borehole pumps</a> at stock troughs, with a reservoir sized for a few cloudy days. Grain farms run three phase pumps into pivots and dams around Bothaville, Hoopstad and Jacobsdal. In Bloemfontein and Welkom, homes facing water cuts fit a tank with a booster or drill a garden borehole, and pressure tanks keep the pump from cycling.
Water and ground in Free State
Maize, sunflower, wheat and cattle cover most of the Free State, and almost every farm has a borehole somewhere, many still with a windmill turning over a stock dam. Farmers are steadily replacing those windmills with solar pumps and adding centre pivots fed by boreholes and rivers along the Vaal, the Vet and the Modder. In the south, the Orange and Riet rivers supply irrigation schemes around Jacobsdal. Welkom and Virginia sit on the goldfields, where mines have long pumped water from underground, and Sasolburg has a large petrochemical industry. Bloemfontein has faced water cuts in many suburbs, pushing homes towards tanks and boreholes. Winters bring hard frost, which splits exposed pipes and pumps.
Typical tank pumps requests in the area come from:
- Farms: tank pumps supplying cottages, dairies and stores from storage
- Smallholdings and plots: a pump feeding the house from a tank filled by the borehole
- Mines and quarries: tank pumps supplying site offices and change houses
