Borehole & water supply in Gauteng: local notes
Borehole depths vary a lot across Gauteng, from fairly shallow holes in the north to deep ones on the Witwatersrand ridge, so ask the driller what nearby holes found. Most garden sets are 4 inch single phase pumps feeding a tank. In complexes and homes with long water cuts, a <a href="/booster-pumps/">booster pump</a> with a pressure tank or controller supplies the house from storage, often on an inverter so it keeps going through load-shedding.
Gauteng: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Gauteng sits on a ridge far from any big river, so most of its tap water is pumped up from the Vaal system, and many suburbs have had water cuts and low pressure when that supply or the local network falters. That is why gardens in Pretoria East, Fourways and Benoni have boreholes and so many homes keep a plastic tank with a booster pump. Ground matters here: dolomite under parts of Centurion, the West Rand and Ekurhuleni calls for careful siting, and Johannesburg and Tshwane have their own borehole rules. Summer storms bring lightning that kills control boxes and floods basements in Sandton and the Joburg CBD. Pump shops, rewinders and drillers cluster in Kya Sand, Wadeville, Rosslyn and Silverton.
Typical tank pumps requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a booster and changeover so the house keeps water through cuts and load-shedding
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: backup tank pumps for schools, clinics, restaurants and offices
- Smallholdings and plots: a pump feeding the house from a tank filled by the borehole
Local tips for Gauteng
Common here: garden boreholes, tank and booster sets for water cuts, basement sump pumps. Ask each supplier about this: ask whether the quote includes surge protection and a dry run probe on the control box. Where they work from: kya Sand, Wadeville, Isando, Rosslyn, Silverton, Strijdom Park and Germiston.
Sizes vary: sized by bathrooms, taps and storeys. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a booster and changeover so the house keeps water through cuts and load-shedding. One local point to raise: most suburbs within an hour of a pump shop; plots in Muldersdrift and Bapsfontein too.
